Car packed in down near Leith docks, cold and dark and not fun. Called and someone actually answered right away, not a machine. Jump started it within 20 mins, sound service.

Puncture near Liberton on a Saturday, was sure I'd be waiting hours. Wasn't the case at all, fitter was there in about 25 minutes and repaired it rather than pushing a full replacement on me.
