Probably get moved but....

What has happened? Dealer has shut up and dissapeared?

I know that the place went rapidly downhill after Paul went to Citroen, but to completely shut up?

So where do I go now?

Probably use the Motorsport for servicing (instead of the leftovers from the Rover franchise).....

They've abandoned Subaru alltogether, wasn't making enough money for them I guess...one wonders how long Motorsport will have if they no longer have direct access to the parts department...

Thats my local dealer I was told that they got the hump about subaru awarding a franchise for another garage to open a new dealership in ashford they said it was two close so they said bollocks too subaru and shut up shop I have since heard that the ashford dealership is not happening now as far as I know barretts are still a dealer for serviceing and parts but just not selling new subarus any more.

Yeah they still service but use their Rover cronees! I am reverting to the motorsport division (for as long as they last). Ashford is just as far away as Maidstone isnt it? So doesnt sound that credible. Have to dig further...

I think that is down to Paul moving. He was the only one that new anything about anything. When I went in there last they did not know what a P1 was

It seems that people should maybe get there facts right on a few points, The 2 technicians that work in the subaru workshop are both ex techs of the motorsport rally team and yes they do work on Rovers as well but they are more than qualified to work on subarus. The only difference in the booking system is that now you go through a main desk and the girls there deal with many different franchises, but i feel sure they would recognise a P1! if not ask to speak to the workshop if its a technical problem. As for paul leaving, yes he had a good understanding of the mark but there are still plenty of people with the same knowledge and more.Hope this clears the above points up.
