Report
Excellent customer service from Neil at the Chelmsford branch today. Having purchased a second hand D Max from them in May this year it had a couple of things that needed sorting out under warranty. Neil organised me a courtesy truck and told me it would take a couple of days to complete the work. Neil called me and kept me updated on the progress of the work and when it was ready for collection. I also got a nice D Max key ring. Thanks again. Regards Marcus Adie
