Fantastic service - test drove SEAT Ibiza and a fault came up on the display during the test. Liked the car so much that I put down a deposit on the assurance that LMC would get it fixed. Not only did they get it fixed, they sent it to the SEAT main dealer in St Leonard's so it was correctly diagnosed and fixed using SEAT parts. Can't fault the service at LMC and would highly recommend them. Have the car - all working and LOVE IT
