Well last night on way home from work the little orange engine light came on so pulled over turned the car off and then would not start again like it had flat battery.
So called the AA and he came got the car started and said get it checked,then tryed to pull away put the lights on and the ABS light came on he said should be fine just take it to garage in the morining, tryed again then the rev counter stoped and where the mailage is a message saying EAU FAIL so then had to be towed to the dealer.
So this moring hubby went to garage and it is the alternator has gone.

Well I have to say that was quite nice of them. Just a shame that not everyone receives the same level of customer service from their dealer.

Well the thing is, who are you more likely to buy a car off in the future or recommend to friends? A dealer that treats you well or one that messes you about.
