My car had it's first ever service on Monday, wiper blades changed, oil changed etc. Everything 100%. I wanted 2 new tyres fitted but they weren't in stock so they rang me and I've booked it in for the morning. So that's all fine. Today I was driving to work in fairly heavy rain, next thing my wipers start making this scratching sound, so I couldn't really work out what was wrong but I got real worried to see a cyclist on my left dodging it. The metal thing was hanging out of BOTH windscreen wiper blades. The rain also got very heavy so after I jumped out to fix them they were back sticking out again in no time. My car was booked in to have the tyres replaced in the morning, but it was scraping so bad I went straight up, and I tried really hard not to use the wipers till I couldn't see through my window at all, just incase they were actually marking the window. So they were a little bit apologetic...but not as apologetic as I would have liked. Considering they were fine untill they'd been replaced. So, after fitting more new wiper blades today he told me he's going to need the car for longer because the dodgy wiper scratched loads of paint off my roof, I hadn't noticed because the rain was so heavy, anyway, he did apologise, and he did say he was "speaking to a technician" to find out what happened, but they kind of made me feel like It wasn't a big deal, and I was a bit too nice about it too I think. I don't know
