Came in for the annual servicing and MOT of my 15 plate Juke, I now have a 70 plate with my name on it! It was an easy and straightforward transition. Everyone was helpful, from Tracy to Adam, to Steve. Even the service guys helped to take out my lost bracelet from the handbrake box. This is my 3rd Juke from Colin Appleyard and I am loving the experience each time!
Great to have the car picked up and dropped off at my home.The car sounds great.
