🚗💦 Toddler’s Terrifying Tesco Car Wash Experience!
Imagine taking a car through a wash and having the doors mysteriously swing open mid-cycle! That’s exactly what Andrew and Cara experienced with their Range Rover Evoque. Their 18-month-old son, Otis, was drenched and terrified, leading to a fear of car travel since the incident. 😱
During what was meant to be a routine wash, the rear door opened—twice—causing havoc and a cascade of water into the vehicle. They heard a loud bang and quickly exited the wash, leaving behind a trail of chaos.
Outside, they discovered the car’s roof spoiler had been torn off. Repairs set them back £1,800! 💷 Tesco stood by its car wash, saying it was operational and warning signs were in place for Range Rovers. However, Andrew and Cara knew nothing of this recommended avoidance! 🤯
Despite their ordeal, they struggled to get a satisfactory response from Tesco. Cara, eight months pregnant, had to chase up the supermarket repeatedly, facing roadblocks at every turn. Eventually, they were told their claim was denied due to a fault-free report on the car wash. Frustrating, right? 😤
Jaguar Land Rover also stepped in, reiterating their stance against using automatic car washes. Their advice? Check your manual before using such washes and consider alternatives to avoid potential damage.
Andrew and Cara are now spreading the word: think twice before trusting those automatic car machines. 🛑 They vow to switch to hand-washing their vehicle, ensuring a safer environment for sweet Otis. 🚙💧
As for Tesco, they’ve extended an apology and follow-up investigations but declined the couple’s claim. A reminder to all: when in doubt, always hand wash it out! 🧽✨
