I think I had the same problem with waiting for them to call me back (Romford).
Called them twice to try to get a quote and they never got back to me.
Personally I dislike using the phone for booking things, I nearly always go in person, as you can be assured of full attention and not getting your name written on a scrap piece of paper that goes missing.
First impressions last as they say, which is true for me, if they seem nice the first time I use them, I will bring more business to them, within reason of cost etc. My local garage round the corner, which may not be as good as Renault, is a nice guy, so I always give him preferential treatment when things need doing, all because hes honest with me (I hope!) and does his best to sort things out for me.
Therefore he gets my £££, simple. Obviously lost on larger corporations...
