I think with dealers it really is pot luck. I once bought an astra from skurrays and had god damn awful problems. I then bought a pug 206 from fish bros which I had for 12 years and had no issues with it whatsoever.

Bought a brand new Seat from Swindon Motor Park, have problems with it and found their after sales was awful and the service dept just as bad, I ended up reporting them to one of the motoring industry body's that soon made them get in contact and sort it all out - would never buy from them again though

Reckon you are right. Fish Brothers Toyota in Swindon always seemed pretty good. The only reason I don't use them is because of dealership prices not really being justifiable on an ageing car. There is a local Renault dealer who I wouldn't touch, not the one is Swindon I hasten to add but is is in Wiltshire. They told a colleague his entire fuel system on his Clio needed replacing at some extortionate price. Because of the age of his car he decided to replace it... Fast forward a few months, his oldish Scenic was leaking oil - their diagnosis > £1K repairs needed because multiple seals were failing ans so it was probably some engine pressure issue. This time he got a second opinion from a backstreet dealer - diagnosis one seal had failed and was spraying oil on long journeys - couldn't do the repair due to some reason other. Took it to a third garage, did not tell them the issue. Cam up with same diagnosis as second guy and repaired for £250ish. So he'd have paid > £1K more had he listened to the dealer on unnecessary part replacement. And the fault may still not have been fixed. |

Fixed by those who know what they are doing thankfully. Would be hard for me to prove a case against the dealershit so I'm not going to bother. Will keep spreading the word how shit they are though.
