Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience, as we believe your review does not accurately reflect what took place.

Your appointment was booked for 9:00am, and in the two days leading up to your booking we sent two email reminders and two text message reminders confirming your appointment time. You arrived at approximately 10:30am, after your allocated diagnostic slot had passed. Rather than turning you away, we offered to accommodate your vehicle at the end of the day if you were happy to leave it with us until the following day, which you agreed to.

As your previous garage had been unable to diagnose the fault, we explained in advance that your vehicle would require access to manufacturer-level diagnostic software, which incurs a cost to ourselves. During our investigation we found that the vehicle had internal ECU communication faults. We attempted calibration and coding procedures, however these were unsuccessful due to the faults present. Based on our findings, we advised that further wiring tests should be carried out before recommending replacement of an ECU, as we wanted to avoid suggesting an expensive component without first ruling out other possible causes.

When discussing the findings, you advised that you did not wish to proceed due to the value of the vehicle and attempted to negotiate the agreed diagnostic charge. Unfortunately, the diagnostic process and manufacturer software access had already been carried out, resulting in costs to our business regardless of the outcome.

We are also disappointed by the comments regarding our staff. You arrived to collect your vehicle at approximately 5:40pm, after our 5:30pm closing time, while our team were locking the premises. Despite this, our staff remained behind to explain the findings and discuss the report with you. At no point was anyone intentionally rude or intimidating, and we categorically reject that suggestion. Our team remained professional throughout the process.

We always strive to provide honest and accurate diagnostics, even when the fault is complex or the outcome isn't what a customer was hoping for. We wish you all the best in getting the issue resolved.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations. At the time of your enquiry, we were experiencing an issue with the link between our online booking system and our workshop diary, which unfortunately allowed appointments to appear as available when they were not. As soon as we became aware of your booking, we contacted you to explain the situation. We can confirm this issue has now been fully resolved.

As a busy workshop, we always do our very best to accommodate every customer. However, when we know we're unable to meet the turnaround time a customer requires, we believe it's far better to be honest from the outset and give them the opportunity to explore other options, rather than make promises we can't keep. We appreciate that you needed your vehicle repaired quickly, and we're sorry we weren't able to assist within your required timeframe.

Regarding your comment about The Happy Camper Store, we'd like to clarify that this is not a separate or hidden business. The Happy Camper Store is simply the leisure vehicle division and trading name of Fastlane Autocare Autocentres Ltd, specialising in caravans, motorhomes, campervans and other leisure vehicles. Both departments operate from neighbouring premises, and this information is clearly shown on our website and documentation.

We apologise again for the inconvenience caused by the booking system issue and appreciate you bringing it to our attention, as it enabled us to resolve the problem quickly.
