The long story is nearly over  

They have a fair and decent Manager at the dealership, I luckily took pictures of the car when I dropped it off.

Those pics proved the scratches and damage when I collected the car were not caused by me  

they are repairing the damage and gave me a full tank of fuel  

car is back healthy again so nothing too bad to be upset about  

thankfully it’s summer!

 

Glad you have it sorted, this is why I rarely if ever use dealers, I prefer to build a relationship with a specialist and speak eye to eye with the guy holding the spanners.

 

What about the speeding in the 30mph zones?
