View Full Version : Bulldog, Twyford - New Dealer - anyone used yet? andys 11 April 2003, 14:39 Had a 52.5 K done there a few weeks ago. They were ok but did not clean the car, or fix all of the niggles I had. They also seemed very reluctant to do anything under my extended warrenty. oh and charged me for 2 new bulbs that I did not need. Oh and they were expensive All in all not a patch on Lancasters i would say.

They have been a Subaru Dealer for 10 weeks and I need some confidence, anyone used them? Honest opinions please Pete pslewis 04 November 2003, 02:10 Anyone at all???????? Pete pslewis 05 November 2003, 00:13 Thanks Andy - its the 52.5k service I want doing, they want £132. The next one is the BIGGIE at a quoted £771 !!!! Holy ****! I would think that they WOULD be reluctant to do warranty work being a Subaru dealer for just a few weeks .... IM don't thank dealers for claiming warranty work!! Simpsons of Swindon is the other option?! Where I actually bought the car! Pete sjah555 05 November 2003, 18:51 Pete, Just booked in for my 60K at Bulldog... quoted me 517.29 inc. VAT! I'd used Lancaster until recently also and had been well happy with their service... they'd even collect and deliver which eveidently noone else round here seems to do ! :( Lemme know how you get one anyhow... -Sal- scoobyboy 05 November 2003, 20:14 just to say that cotswold subaru is in the middle of simpsons swindon and bulldog twyford formerly known as cross country vehicles anoble1 05 November 2003, 20:30 Pslewis Give Len from Subaru4u a call, he is ex-mechanic from subaru pangbourne, excellent service and cheap. www.subaru4you.co.uk, Call: 07771636609 pslewis 06 November 2003, 02:00 I would - BUT I have an extended warranty to think about! That price above for 60k service must be without the cambelt then? I need the cambelt doing on mine at 60k! I think? Pete skelly 06 November 2003, 02:43 Have you tried SGT in Taplow near Maindenhead, not that much further up the road from Twyford. They have been Subaru dealer for at least 5 years that I can remember. pslewis 06 November 2003, 10:08 SGT haven't had very good reports on here as far as I can remember? Pete anoble1 06 November 2003, 18:00 Pete I know what your saying about your extended warranty etc, I did also have another 9months remaining on mine but to be honest for what you can actually get done under extended warranty its not worth the paper its written on, and you can save huge amounts of money by not going to a subaru dealer but a trusted small firm like subaru4you etc.. Just my thoughts, I suppose it depends on how long you have left on your warranty etc anoble1 06 November 2003, 18:02 Pete I know what your saying about your extended warranty etc, I did also have another 9months remaining on mine but to be honest for what you can actually get done under extended warranty its not worth the paper its written on, and you can save huge amounts of money by not going to a subaru dealer but a trusted small firm like subaru4you etc..
