Little Lotte

Sep 11, 2011 19:13

Have I mentioned lately how freaking much I love my car? No? Well, allow me to wax lyrical over my love for Lotte.

She's four and a half years old and has done just over 61k. She had a very overdue service on Friday and I'm amazed by how little she needed doing. She had her oil and pollen filters replaced. She needed a new rear wiper blade (which I knew about) and a new front driver's side tyre (which I knew about). She also had her engine flushed and a fuel treatment - which will apparently make her even more fuel efficient!
OMG she runs so much quieter. She's always been a quiet car but there's like NO engine noise at all now. I'm still overcompensating a little with the tyre but that'll be sorted by the time I've done the 20 miles to work heh.

Then, yesterday, she had a full valet.
Slight mishap there. I booked her in with company A, who were supposed to come to me at 09:00. It gets to 09:30, no sign of them so I ring them up. They've a) got no record of my booking and b) don't even work Saturdays!
Well. Bugger.
So I ring up company B, explain the situation and they book me in for 2pm. And £5 cheaper. OMG! She's so clean, inside and out. She's also apparently silver/grey not grey/black. And her mats are black. And so's her plastic and she smells incredible.
I would recommend them but y'know, local company so not much point really but yes, they will be being used again next time she needs a clean.
