13. a) Xclusive Motor Services Ltd offers free vehicle collection and delivery as standard on all servicing packages. The target vehicle collection time is between 8am and 11am. The target delivery time is 4pm and 6pm. If unforeseen circumstances cause the vehicle to be collected/delivered outside these times, the customer shall be updated by a Xclusive Motor Services representative. If your vehicle is UN-drivable then recovery will need to be arranged.
