The lady who helped me with the paperwork was very enthusiastic and serious, but the car wasn’t clean when it was handed over to me. The windows were covered in grease marks and the floor had footprints. Since we picked up the car at night and were in a hurry, we didn’t make a big deal about it. We cleaned it ourselves the next morning.
