Ok, so lets try and have a sensible count of dealers closing at the end of this month.
basically this is all due to the stipulations laid out by Subaru UK, although some dealers are giving "alternative" excuses it seems.
It may prove interesting but will also let all scoobynetters know exactly who is still "open" and who will have to go elsewhere for service.
Please try not to "Duplicate" dealer names/locations on here, so it will really good for everyone to use for reference.

PLEASE PLEASE, I did ask for this to become a "List" of Dealers closing, not simply comments and "I Know's". That does give Scoobynetters the full facts does it. So act sensible on this thread and only write what is asked please.

Lancaster Subaru dealer in Reading has just closed too. apparently the profit margins were not big enough on new scoobies. ! Dealers make up for it with used prices surely !!!

It wasn't just a profit margin thing with Lancasters,
it was an internal political thing. It didn't fit the company image of LANCASTER LUXURY CARS, as the company name is.

AJ White won't even order spare parts
I needed a clutvh return soring and the bandit on the other side of the desk refused to order the part. Superb service
Cr4p or what, sooner they all close the better.

Are any Scottish Dealers closing or have closed, dont seem to have many netters from this part of the country willing to let everyone else know whats going on up there. So, come on guys, you can add to this list surely.

Vale Motors in Yeovil went into receivership yesterday. A few weeks ago they lost their new car side of the business but could still do Subaru servicing, now (probably unrelated to the Subaru thing) the whole company is closing, including their Wincanton based Hyundai/Proton garage.
