useless dealers.

i phoned around to find the best price for a cambelt change, canterbury ashford gillingham maidstone and dartford before christmas i left my home number my mobile and even my email address now thats atleast £350 worth of work, out all of these very very wealthy companies that are so well off, none contact me why do they do that. bollocks to them all ,getting it done at the only garage that bothered to fone me back. :angry:st georges at cliftonville will be getting my money.

agreed chap, also what gets me is when a cars in for work an they haven't called when they said the would so you have to ring them up an they say "oh I was just about to call you sir"


Like f**k you where!

I have a local garage that I use and trust. I wouldn't let a main dealer anywhere near my car.

They mostly suck the big one, I have experienced this from a service pov...but also and much more alarmingly from a sales perspective...

Me: OK I have £20,000 to spend on a GTI....do you want my money?
Spotty sales monkey: "yes sir...I will get the car for you, its not at the dealership just now, its a demonstrator and out of the office"...
Me: ok thanks, call me when its back, its just the thing I am looking for!

<end of dialogue>

Not a word, not a dicky bird, not so much as a postcard.... I eventually 10 days later called the Sales Manager and tore him a new @rsehole....and never went back...In general they are low level, commission led lazy scroates..... 

Just for the record this was Arnold Clark, Merrylee Glasgow.

in the next 2 years I predict at least 30% of high end dealers will close, i.e. Merc, BMW, Audi, VW.

I wanted a polo gti last year, booked an appointment at the local stealers (Martins bsaingstoke) turned up to test drive it and got told that they were busy with someone else and I might have to wait a while, they could not give me a long test drive as they had another appointment in half an hour. I pointed out that I was their 11:30 appointment and they looked blankly at me! At which point I said obviously you do not need my business I will go else where as there are plenty around at other dealers. He then got shirty with me and said there is no need to be like that. I pointed out I was the customer, I had an appointment and THEY were F***ing me about.   At which point they miraculously found someone to assist with my test drive. Needles to say did not buy it. Got the MK5 instead

Why would anyone be suprised at this kind of behaviour?? they all do it unfortunately!!

Im just so glad I get to shaft my dealer the only way that matters  in the pocket!!

you'd have thought in this climate dealers would be rolling out the red carpet and trying every trick that there is to get money from us.ive no problem with my vw dealer always return icalls always cheaper than anywhere else will pick up car drop me off or lend me a car never had a problem maybe its because its a vw service only in a chevy garage(was vw) so relys on repeat business.
