Sadly I didnt have the same experience .... dropped my RIB off at the agreed date which was booked 3 weeks prior to this date .... the collection date was agreed to be a week after dropping off as I was going on holiday, a day later but when I checked a day before collection, they still hadnt looked at it, and only gave an indication that they might be able to, so I had to push all my own winding down arrangements to one side to do the work on the boat myself, which left me very pushed for time and stretched to say the least. If they didnt have the manpower or time, they should never had accepted my booking, I was very annoyed
I wanted it inspected in good time incase any parts were required and could be fitted before its return date. I didnt get the impression they wanted the work
In their defence .. during my service work, I needed a fairly basic part which they didnt have in stock, but they 'aquired' one quickly
So .. mixed bag from me I'm afraid
