Same mistakes yet again!!

Repeatedly told customer services to give me at least 1 days notice of a service appointment and the first time i knew about it was a text to say we were the next job. Don’t understand why this simple request cannot be followed. Service was completed in about 15 minutes on a fairly large site with plenty of sensors etc is not very thorough either!! Poor
