I've just spoken to Lancaster in Pangbourne, and they are being finished off on the 30th September. Living a mile away I'm gutted for them and me both.
Never had anything but praise for them, if you've ever had to deal with VW you'd know why.
The whole dealership is closing making them all redundant. Apparently Subaru want more space and Pangbourne cant offer it.
Am I the only one sad about this? Can another dealship that has just started up possibly be as knowledgeable?

I bought my STI8 from Lancaster Pangbourne and have always been impressed. My dad bought a classic there and also an RB5 and it's very local for him. I think it'll be a sad loss.

Does this mean that Lancaster Subaru Sevenoaks is closing down at the same time?

Havn't heard about anything about SevenOaks mate.
Its still a shame with all the people being made redundant
if that bit is true.
But maybe the Twyford garage will take some of them on.

If lancaster closing is to do with image & space, then not sure why Twyford is opening up. It's not exactly salubrious.
Shiny, new premises doesn't always mean a decent service. I've had the unfortunate experience of having to walk into a new, quality looking VW garage. Shame the **** service didn't match up!

I just rang twyford to see what sort of price they would give me for my P1 with 17,000 miles on it and even though they don't have any in they said they would not be interested at all in that kind of car!?!?

Nothing mate, 18" Prodrive wheels, Prodrive Exhaust and sid pretection strips. Thats it nothing dodgy to report at all and a very mint car. I found it strange but thought sod it, i'll try somewhere else.
