I still would not go back to them on the basis that they did a service and were not sensible enough to change the wiper blade.

They said that they'd tried to phone me on my mobile when they found the prob with the wiper, and that if they'd been able to talk to me they could have replaced it at once and they wouldn't have had to fail the car.
What appalling service. Any sensible dealer would have changed the wiper blade anyway to avoid the charge for a fail and the need for a re-test. I would have had a few words with them if they had done that to me and would never have used them again.

So I asked them to put XYZ tyres on when I dropped it off with them to MOT (after arranging this on the phone with them several days before as they needed to order them in). I thought they'd put the tyres on and then do the MOT. Nope they failed the car on the tyres, changed them and then passed it. There was no charge for this "retest". I was a bit miffed.
