barratts canterbury?
anyone used then before? I recovered my car there after checking they could fit me in and they've spent 11 days saying "hopefully tomorrow" before now saying 12th October.
slightly frustrating..... is this normal service?

I'll not bore everyone with the utterly disastrous experience I've had over the past two months however as part of "goodwill' they sold me extended bars at cost and fitted for free (£380!) Evidently I'm not the first person to enjoy the bars - selling second hand parts as new has to be of dubious legality right?

My experience with Canterbury... Had some issues when I ordered the car from them. Went there for its first service. Despite them checking it over for a Adblue error message they forgot to refill the Adblue and it had to go back again. Thinking about whether to go back there again, but there's no other dealers close.Gary

Further update on Barratts Canterbury. I discovered they overfilled my oil when they did the first service as well as forget to top up the adblue. It wont be going back there again.Gary

I also take my Discovery to Guy Salmon Aylesford, much more inconvenient than Baratts, but worth it to avoid them. My defender is not serviced by Barratts and when I still had the XF, I traveled miles out of my way to have someone other than Barratts Jaguar service it.
