any views on this company from people who have had contact, good or bad (as im about to buy a sti 8 from them, deposit already paid, having 2nd thoughts as the presales service are of the lowest order, and can only imagine what aftersales will be like)

My old legacy turbo came from them. They do tend to be up their asses ...but have a good reputation. have it out with them. most dealers would love to sell a car.So if not happy walk.

I went there last year to look at an STI V,not intending to buy it,but David Hendry let me take it for a drive.He came along and seemed a very friendly man even though he knew he was not going to get a sale from me that day! He wasn't a typical"Full of Bullsh*t" salesman.(No offence to any salesmen on here!)
I would definately be happy to use them,especially as he offered me £8000 for my L reg Wrx.
Regards
Dean

had my uk turbo serviced there and they overfilled the oil which was a pretty basic mistake. Gummed up the boost control solenoid which meant the turbo didn't work too well.
In their defence they sorted it out ASAP and where very apologetic. I suppose accidents can happen. I'm giving them the benefit and will be taking it back again.

The service manager was pretty snooty though and I had to point out who was paying his wages.
