I use both West Bridgford and Daybrook. The car was purchased from West Bridgford along with nightmare stories about damage to my car in transit and salesmen trying to cover things up.

But from a servicing point of view I use Daybrook because some of the service reception staff go back to the old John Fox days and are quite helpful. Do not however let them wash the car as part of the service, your car will be scratched by the gritty sponges.

I leave a notice in the car DO NOT WASH THIS VEHICLE.

That said the foreman at Daybrook is good and helpful. 

Agree with this - my GTI was a demo at Daybrook and it had swirls so it must have been washed by the gritty sponge brigade - no two bucket use going on there!  Can't comment on service but had a good experience with the Sales Manager (whos car I bought!) - whole deal over the phone and got the price I wanted for my TT and they drove the GTI over to the Northwest and took mine away - felt weird buying a car sat on your ar$e but well pleased with what I got  :smiley:

I take it you took out a black one and gave it some  :grin:

Mines steel grey (got it last November).  No doubt with mine being a demo it would have had it's fair share of throttle bashing  :angry:  Was after black for a while but was difficult finding the spec I wanted - this one had all the options I had been looking for and quickly had to find a steel grey locally just to see the colour as by the time I would have had chance to get over to Nottingham suspect it would have gone!
