Had the car booked for 12pm pick up and got there just after 12 and the store was closed.. presumably this store closes at 12pm. No one called me to see if I was coming either. Had to make other arrangements

This was a last minute booking and as it turned out, I booked for the wrong days. Steve went above and beyond to get me in a car, despite very low stock due to it being a holiday weekend. I was super pleased with the excellent customer service!
