And what a joke that was! The S6 wasn't even driveable when the AA man arrived. 
Among other things it had one front tyre worn to the canvas on the inside, though the opposite side wasn't, suggesting serious suspension/geometry issues.
And one entire side of the car had been resprayed, presumably not well enough to not be spotted by the AA inspector!
So, £200 down the pan for a very short inspection. 
My son doesn't have time to name and shame; I'm tempted......
