Pickup and delivery drivers were great

Pickup and delivery drivers were great. Car disappeared and came back with the same warning light showing, so had to repeat the process, free of charge the second time. Seemed to be a disconnect between Fixter and the garage. It's a good service and I would be happy to use them again as they tried to remedy the problem - and succeeded.Victoria Elliston, London
