I am lucky I also live quite close so can call in, they have always been more than helpful and found a problem with my engine which another so called reputable dealer had built which they sorted at a very reasonable price. I try to use them for most stuff, as for answering phones and emails, when they were in Watford it was hire a van and drive down with a half a dozen in back with their pound notes firmly grasped in their hands for a day of shopping. Much more fun

Exactly .... deal with the person stood in front of me with money in his hand.
Best way to contact them is by letter and don't forget to include a SAE.

Closing
half day or any day is wrong
The customer must have the right to shop whenever they like not when the shop thinks it's right.
All these ne'er-do-well dealers should take a leaf out of corrado stores north west, he's open 24/7 and he's also a left luggage operator* at parts fairs.
