IN FOCUS THE THUMBS Thumbs up to the team at Sainsbury & Automotive. When we went to pick up our new car we were pleasantly surprised to find it decorated with a blue ribbon and a sign saying “thanks”. They staff also gave us extra gifts including a Subaru esky pack with travel mug and cap. It was so wonderful to have all these unexpected extras when we went to drive away in our new vehicle. They even took a photo of us with the new car and emailed it to us as a keepsake. Thank you.
