Sorry to hear about the bad news. Hope all works out for Danny and the Lads.

Just tried to book my car in today to have the brakes done....doah!!!

Spoke to Bob who says they were issued with redundancy papers yesterday evening.

Hope everything works out okay for all the guys

****, thats bad news :(

They were only advertising for a technician a couple of weeks back, too.

Wonder what happened? Theyve only been open for a short while...

Tried to book mine in yesterday evening and got the news. :(

Mainland are the only other people I trust to carryout work on my car.

Wish the lads all the best with the future.

Sorry to hear the news, but I bet that means I can kiss goodbye the money they owe me

There's going to be a new dealership opening in Preston soon...

May i recommend Stan Palmers in Carlisle if anyone`s looking for a dealer to trust.........well i do anyway :D

Yeah,but that's over a 100 miles from some of us and we know that cos some of us have driven up there to test one of their ecutek equipped cars and I know I like my car an all that but sadly not enough to drive over a 100 miles for a service..... :(
I ain't happy now that my car might have to go to the stuck up tw@ts at Monks Heath.Champagne drinkers with lemonade money springs to mind.... :D:D

Nick

Nick you could always try Prosport in Stockport, or Scoobynorth in Wigan

Steve

Lets club together and open our own dealership!!

We may get a discount on services then

:D :D :D

that's terrible news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick I am sure Monks Heath will welcome you back with open arms. lol

Robinsons of Rochdale still going?

New dealership in Preston? Tell me more!

Hope it lasts longer than the last one we had.

Andrew...

Nick your f#cked if them lovely people at Monks Heath read Scoobynet, i've never had a problem with them, they are first rate.

Keep your eyes open for certain staff working at the New Subaru dealership opening in Wigan.

Zippy (Monks Heaths greatest fan)

:eek: Fooook me, can't believe it, Thought it would have been given a longer chance than that.

Must of been officially opened for about 12 months.

A&J White in Blackburn give a superb service. Nick and the lads over there will not let you down (i got my first scoob there)

I know its a bit far for the Warrington/L'pool lads but they will look after you and given a bit of notice will give you a coutesy car for the day/overnight.


Pete

New dealership in Preston? Tell me more!

Don't know how much I can post on here ;) but should be early next year...is there a docks in Preston? :D

Buzzer, are you aware that A&J's are calling it a day as well???

I think Robinsons are still going though:)

Hey Nick its a good job that you disguised your user name. Those nice chaps at Monks Heath wont have any idea who you are when you turn-up with your tail between your legs.

I Love Monks Heath. Lemonade all round! :D

MrDBM :eek: Fook me, droppin like flies :(

Big up for the great guy's at Monks Heath. I was always going to use them but Widnes was just to near ;)

I might take a few tinnies sometime and have a chat over a beer :D

yes there is a dock area in Preston:)

not another one..... Does anybody know the name of the dealer in Chester/North Wales, and are the still open.

And if their OK??

Wish Danny and the lads good luck.

Cheers,

Leigh

The one in North Wales is called Threeways and it is in Abergele.

I think this one is very successful (coz of all the farmers buying Legacy outback's ;) )

I have been down there a few times and found them to be very helpful and polite..........unlike a few others i could mention eh NICK :eek:

Aaaargh!!

Used to have to travel to Winsford for a service on one of the old cars and the wife hated it. One of the reasons I was 'allowed' a scoob was because of the local dealers. She'll go berserk when she hears:(:(

Joined the SIDC for 10% discount.

Monks Heath is probably nearest for me, group buy anyone? Abergele, Newcastle-under-Lyme, soon subaru won't have to split their website by region.

On a brighter note is there a sale of old bugeye parts?

Abergele!! thats just a bit too far, as are all the bleedin others...

Anybody know a good independants wirral/liverpool??

Car needs doing next month....

Leigh

aaaaaaaah how the the vultures congregate ;)

There is a motor parc (sp) at one end of Preston City Docklands, we had a Subaru dealership there once before - for about a week!

Andrew...

Why is everyone worried about main dealers?

Go to Halfords for your servicing needs, they know their stuff!

You can look around their shop whilst they work on your car, get yourself some performance goodies, like towbars, flashing dustcaps, Tweetie Pie mudflaps with matching floor mats, and BadBoy stickers. I always try and pick up a tin of that "spray on splattered flys" for that, "Ive been fast" look.

Ask nicely and Zippy will lend you his "frequent users discount card".

On a serious note, some traveller friends of mine are wondering when the Mainland site will be vacated. As they are being evicted from Otterspool in a couple of weeks. Keep me posted.

Cheers Yoza
