Put The Wrong Fuel Into Your Car?

Never drive your car once you’ve agreed its sale

They do say you should never drive your car once you’ve agreed its sale. Well, there is obviously something to the statement as proven by a gentleman who called us today – he was at first very distressed and ultimately very relieved! He had agreed a deal with a motor dealer the previous week and was on his way to part exchange his BMW525D and drive away in his new car. However, en route disaster struck in an unexpected way – he stopped to put diesel in the car and picked up the wrong pump.. He realised his mistake 10 litres later and his obvious concern would be whether he would still be able to complete his deal as agreed.

Having found our details in an online search we were able to assure him that our service was reasonably priced, enjoyed a high success rate and was very discreet.  We were on scene just over an hour later, had carried out the drain in a further 20 minutes and the customer was resuming his journey to the garage where he was able to complete the part-exchange deal
