Lucky bugger...

Mine has just been put back ANOTHER flippin week...
Funny definition of "In Stock" if you ask me! Customer service at Larini is pretty p*sh too. They are very helpful when you phone up, but that's the point - I have to keep phoning them for updates. They never let me know that the last date they told me isn't going to be met. I just have to call them every time it doesn't turn up. Never again. Could have had a Janspeed overnighted weeks ago! I've put my MOT back 3 times... Not doing it again as it's now overdue. Will have to hope it passes with the old one on.
Not impressed with Larini.

Ali gave my S1 an 'A' service and MOT on Tuesday. Great customer service from Ali. He dropped me off at a Bus stop for town and picked me up later on. I was happy with the cost as well and he gave me some indication of how the car was overall and the areas that may need attention in the future. He has found a new MOT centre at one of the industrial estates behind IKEA and said I was the first of his cars to go there. Passed MOT with only a recommendation to sort the wiper blade as beginning to tear. Many thanks to Ali.
