Specialist SCR workshops in Somerset are scattered, and the nearest one to Chard may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. Light commercial density around Chard means a fair share of calls are fleet vehicles where the driver and the owner are different people, and the decision has to be made by someone not standing at the vehicle.
The honest comparison is the total: call-out, work, any parts, and the time the vehicle is standing. All four are discussed before travel. Winter around Chard brings the freezing question up constantly: the fluid freezes near −11 °C, the system is designed for it, and the dashboard message is the only thing that needs interpreting.
