dealers still sh1te then.....

Evo does indeed buck the trend.

I happened to call in at Snoopy's favourite dealership last week.  They've started to sell the Skoda range too and whilst there appeared to be more sales 'desks' around the majority to satisfy greater demand on their resources the guys seemed as distant as ever.

If it's of any consolation Snoops, there were a couple of cars outside plated up and ready to go.  They like yours were in an unwashed unkept state.

Well I seem to have been very lucky with Caffyns at Haywards Heath, West Sussex.  Top notch dealership with great customer liason.  In the time that I waited for my car, I got to know my salesbloke, his manager, and the branch manager.  All top blokes.

Glad to see you are back with us!
West London (Inchcape) Service department are really very good, offer discounts on parts and labour, very friendly, helpful and professional. In fact, better service than from Honda which is just down the road. Think I might have struck gold here!

Their sales part is hopeless!

Yeah, sorry.  Been glued to my xbox the last few days.

Talk about a good service department.
Went to see them just now to check the price for the Ed30 manual shift. Told them I want a discount on the part and the fitting. Their profit margin is 10% (?), it's a back order item and I got it for £180, that is a £11.45 discount. Good enough for me. Even better was the fitting charge for, well let's say, peanuts! I'm happy!
Nice people to do business with.

Pulled up outside VW Swindon on Tuesday in the gleaming tornado MK6.

Was this Mann Egerton by Chance?. 

I have had excellent service from them at Swindon when I brought my MK5 GTi nearly 4yrs ago.  Superb service and really friendly after the sale.  I am thinking of going back again to enquire about a MK6 GTD.  They had a 5dr black one, but think it has now been sold.

Ditto. Found the staff in Leeds totally uninterested. I think they just assumed you were wasting their time. How dare you enter my showroom and enquire about purchasing a £25 car???!!! And they also wouldn't even discuss discounts which I knew you could get.
So I went down the road and found two top guys - one in Sthingyhorpe and one in Doncaster. I bought mine from the latter - no fuss, very efficient, no pressure and always rang when he said he would.
Would happily go again to him.

KNow exactly what you mean about leeds. Went there to test drive a R32... they said come back in 2 weeks. I didnt bother, and they didnt call. They lost my custom.

Took the R there for a minor warrenty issue (30min job) the car came back with the interior covered in dirt.. and thats saying something considering i dont clean my car much.

Went there to test drive a GTI (6). No one payed me any attention or called me back when i left me details. They lost my custom again.


Went there last week to look at some GTTDI's.... very poor service again. Wont be going back!
