Modern refurbishment of auto dept (2-2-4)
I believe the answer is:
up-to-date
'modern' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'refurbishment of auto dept' is the wordplay.
'refurbishment of' indicates an anagram.
'auto'+'dept'='autodept'
'autodept' is an anagram of 'UP-TO-DATE'.
(Other definitions for up-to-date that I've seen before include "Aware of the latest" , "Modern - fashionable" , "Incorporating the latest developments and trends" , "Following modern trends" , "Thoroughly modern" .)
