They hadn’t finished working on the car when I rang this afternoon, so I told them I didn’t need them to rush; I’ll pick it up tomorrow. I don’t think there’s anything wrong, just a major service, and a busy time of year. It’s really not doing badly for 19 years old. (Just over 50K miles now.)
As usual, they gave me a diesel courtesy car, so I’ll be amazed how smooth and quiet ours is when I get it back.
