\"\"<\/a>The Sweet Service Award<\/strong> goes to Mercedes Benz (Culemborg branch) and its Service Advisor Yazid Bohardien. \u00a0The car’s water bottle had come loose and was resting near the tyre, so I popped into the workshop over a lunchtime, asking Yazid if the staff could assist me in getting it correctly fitted again. \u00a0He told me that the workshop is closed over lunchtime, and that I would have to wait for half an hour. \u00a0In less than this time, he came back to me, saying that he had fixed the problem himself, without requiring any parts from the Parts Division. \u00a0He refused to accept payment.<\/p>\n
