Find out what's happening to your car when you leave it at the airport on Watchdog tonight! The programme's just started.

Thanks Deb just put it on

Not funny if it's your car, and thank goodness for programmes like Watchdog.

Good grief, that's terrible, I'd be gutted if anything happened to my car when I was away

An unexpected plus to the park your own cars sites - I don't think I'll ever want to do a meet and greet car park after this!

 

[Strommie]

Unbelievable

A colleague found a mysterious 50 miles added to his vehicle after it had been parked at Bristol airport, he was a sales rep and had to always keep note of personal and work mileage seperately, otherwise he may not have noticed at all.

I'm so glad that Watchdog have checked this out. We used a Meet and Greet (not Pink) service at LGW a couple of times - the first went v smoothly and we had no complaints. Collecting DH's car after the 2nd trip we weren't as happy - nothing we could put our finger on but the car (Lexus 4x4) seemed muddier than we recalled and DH's car clutter had been moved around. Plus I was convinced someone had smoked in the car. DH contacted the company who swore the car had been parked securely and we hadn't taken note of the mileage so...

Needless to say we haven't used them since and self-park as before...
