Madeline Tretton, 82, left her car at a meet and greet parking service nearby Manchester Airport while she went away on a 10-day holiday to Gran Canaria. Upon returning, the car was given back to her in an “undriveable” condition. On top of that, she had to wait for three hours for the car to be brought to her by the parking service.
After waiting for three hours, the excited 82-year-old thought she would be able to jump in and drive back home to Lytham.
Unfortunately for the motorists that was not the case.
The car was returned to Ms Tretton in an “undriveable” state and required £700 worth of repairs.
Ms Tretton said that one of the wheels rattles to this day.

“We will continue to support the police and our neighbouring councils’ trading standards teams in doing all we can to raise awareness and tackle this issue.
“We encourage customers to use initiatives such as Park Mark and the Government-backed ‘Buy with Confidence’ scheme to find an operator that has undergone a series of detailed checks.”
Ms Tretton has since filed to small claims for the damage to her car and the case continues.
She is warning other drivers going abroad this summer to “be very careful” when booking a meet and greet company.
Ms Tretton added that she had to pay an extra £700 on what was a lovely holiday through no fault of her own.
She said: “Use the official Manchester Airport Meet and Greet not the fake one posing as Manchester Airport.”
