Renault Trafic Interim Service

Wee problem. I booked an interim service which you outline and details as below
Interim Service
25-point maintenance check
Includes new engine oil and oil filter
Includes top-ups for screen wash & antifreeze, brake fluid, power steering fluid and battery fluid
The basic of screen wash & antifreeze, brake fluid, power steering fluid and battery fluid do not appear to have been done. EG the visible levels in the reservoirs are incorrect. That makes me question what else was not done so I would ask that you contact Dale and resolve my concerns? Perhaps Dale is remarkably fast and he did have an assistant but can you really get through that list in about 40 minutes?

I was kept informed of arrival time. Mechanic had to go to collect part so started later. I authorised this before hand. Nice and friendly and good mechanics. Unfortunately required another part but showed me exactly what needed done. I would normally have done this myself but had too many things on today and also didn't have the time to hang about one of the exhaust/tyre places. Decent quality part too as I had a look at it. Car will be fixed tomorrow with extra part. Can't fault service and would use again.
