Yep. Not bad when things go ok, but if you have any problems, don't expect them to be helpfull. Bought a car from them and had services there. Put up with shoddy service for a while. Won't go back again.

Not a great deal of choice in Swindon.

I found TH White in Cirencester to be quite good

Cheers medders,

Think I'll try elsewhere. Are TH White a Franchised dealer?
I need a 45K cambelt change and of course want it as cheap as poss, Franchised dealers seem to charge approx £500 for this one.

Have you looked at Simpsons? I think they're just outside Swindon.

Funny - I've gone the other way. Used to use Simpsons but now use Tileys. Had a couple of things that rather dented my confidence in Simpsons (they're all a good friendly bunch though!!). Had no probs with Tileys - generally very pleased with them. What probs did you have with them?

As for DHCars - I've been in there a few times looking at imports. Can't comment on their servicing setup but the sales bloke I spoke to did seem to think that he was Lord God Almighty and that he was doing me a great favour just talking to me. Hmmm, car salesman.....hmmm...

Decided to try DH cars. 45K for £350 with a courtesy car seemed good but time will tell after next Monday.
I have heard that after a service the difference in performance is very noticable. Any truth to this rumour?

Well I tried them and all was well. The bloke I dealt with was a bit stuck up but he did drive my car away and deliver it back to the front forecourt rather than "it's round the back mate". So a nice bit of service doesn't go a miss.

I'd take my scoob back there - seem to have done a good job.
