I booked a full service, advised them that the air conditioning needed attention. I also requested that they did a safety check of the car as I was due to go on a long journey. When I collected the car I asked if this had been done, and if the tyres were all ok. I was told everything was ok, there were no issues to report. The tyre and the pressure had apparently been checked. 2 days later the tyre pressure warning indicator came up. I took the car to a local tyre garage. They pointed out to me that the tread on the front tyres was very low, they were in poor condition, and underinflated, and would not be safe on a long journey. Clearly no such check had been carried out by Chandlers despite my request.
I also believe that the service was a 'rush' job. When I checked the car in at just after 8am, the first collection time I was given was between 2 and 4pm so selected this. At just after 2.30pm, the work on the car had still not been started. I was then told it would be ready at about 4.20pm. This seems a very short space of time for everything to be dealt with, so I am not surprised that certain things were overlooked. My concern is how much of the service was actually carried out. For example, I can see that the convertible roof mechanism has been oiled, but for instance the drivers door creaks when opened so I have had to attend to that myself.
