So I clearly got their most experienced staff member. 
Anyway, after we overcame that he had to get on the phone to get details and costs.
I also asked what they recommended to do regarding the gearbox fluid - "sealed for life, no need to touch it".
At which point I left my contact details and am awaiting a call as to what the costs will be and what's actually included.
Might toddle off to Fontain later; I like to see the whites of their eyes when discussing prices.
