New Dorset Dealer
I think I have found the new dorset dealer.
There was a post up here ages ago saying it was Olympion and they were right.
Just been down there and to the left of the Renault Service Center they is a building with a couple of Subaru's in, a WRX and forester I think.
What I want to know is, who is going to be servicing our cars?
Will it be trained Renault mechanics??

Davey,
a guy posted up the details a while back, he assured us that there would be 'Subaru' techies, so I guess we'll have to wait and see, gotta be better than no dealer surely!

Oh Dear...
Olympian don't have one of the better reputations for customer satisfaction.
I've heard all sorts of stories...
I'll give 'em a chance though - maybe they've got their act together these days.

Come back Spar****s all is forgiven!!
Still I can look forward to a clio loan car then, If you think their service dept is crap you ain't seen nothing till their paint shop gets hold of your car.

The best/funniest story I heard (just to demonstrate incompetence) was a friend of mine (we'll call him Mr Smith) who needed a new rear window for Renault 19. They phoned him to say it was in stock so he booked his car in to have it fitted.
On the day, he took his car all the way over to them and managed to grab a lift off a friend to get home again.
Later in the day he went back to pick up his car only to find the work hadn't been done...
Olympian: "I'm sorry but we don't have a new window for your car"
Mr Smith: "But you phoned and told me you did!!"
Olympian: "Well, we do have one, but unfortunately its reserved for a Mr Smith, sorry"
aaaagh!!!
says it all really...

What?
Ok, what the hell's a "Subaru Impreza Turbo Sport"?
According to Olympian's advert on 2CR this morning you can go and see it at their new Subaru dealership.
Might go along - I'm curious!!

Well over the road from them are to very nice big glass boxes selling Nissan one side and Toyota the other, What do we Subaru owners get ? Youv'e guessed it a white painted tin corragated shed housing three cars tucked right round the back!! No room for parking cars, (Reaults) littered every wear. It' the sort of place that you take your car in for a service and when you pick it up, It's covered in car park dings, What a pile of ****e!!!!

Secondly, as IM will tell you - the current building is temporary - the dealership will move into a revamped facility in the summer. IM did not want Dorset to be an "open point" for longer than neccessary - hence the "temporary " facilities - to give you owners a place to get your cars serviced.
I cant see how you can call the place ****e when the place has only just started with the franchise !
There will be a Subaru qualified technician, and Renault techs will not be working on your cars !
I would give them a chance - who knows they may be ok !!
Olympian cannot be that bad - otherwise they wouldn't get new franchises and wouldn't still be in business after 15 years of trading !

CarlT fair play if it's only temporary facility, I look forward to the revamped dealership in due course however I hope the one Subaru technician never goes sick or takes any holiday!!
