whats to say the fuel system clean was not needed.
are they expected to know that the car had sluggish injectors as soon as it comes in? how can they test the fuel the minute he drops the car off? now, if there was a problem with the injectors, and the customer wasnt informed until they picked it up, this would require booking in the car for another day, further inconveniencing them, and generally ****ing them off.
if i was to fit an alarm system to a customers car, and their central locking wasnt working, but was an easy fix, i can just about guarantee theyd sook because i couldve done it that day, not a week later when we have a spot free to fix it.
now, id call them, ask if they want it fixed, if not, no skin off my back, finish car, get on with next one. if so, fix it, customers happy, customer tells friends, we get more business, win win for us.
However, the recommendation of a fuel system cleaning would not come under that banner(unless they had taken samples of fuel to test and/or had found injector supply was sluggish etc)
