I had a loud knock suddenly develop on the ZTT. Took it to Quick fit today in Pool/Redruth.
They said they would take a look but we’re too busy to do anything. Ten minutes later they handed back the car. They replaced a failed exhaust rubber and wouldn’t take any payment. Said my exhaust was fine and that was all that was needed but I could pop a donation in their charity box for prostate cancer.
Very impressed with their service and honesty.
Ps knock seems to have gone too. Nice when it’s simple
