I'm told the work is finished but the car needs to be returned from the (larger) dealer branch where it was done back to my local branch.
I'm very sceptical, having received cars back from major work in the past, that it will be 100% so have a list of things that need verifying or attention. At best they will have put it all back together, checked the engine runs and plugged in a computer to check all systems report they're okay. Doubt they'll have given it a serious "real world" checkout. I've asked the local dealer to do that and also for me to have a test drive before accepting it back. It's been away four months now so I've asked for a fresh MOT and service due date to be revised to 12 months from now! I've been through my checklist with the service manager and hopefully will get it back early next week. None of my points got a verbal rejection or were deemed unreasonable.
