I went there a few years back to buy a subaru and the guy didn't want to serve me. Hope you can work to change their attitude towards young people buying expensive cars.

Do you know why they are dropping Subaru sales ????? This is what happened to Lavender Hill Garage in Enfield, then a year after they stopped selling Subaru's they also lost the servicing.......

I have no insider information

But I don't think its a secret Sales of the Cars are not the best at the moment

Perhaps there simply isn't enough margin for them

I am sure they are still servicing though

I've always found it strange that Wilsons sell both Subarus and Mitsubushis.

Surely you couldn't find to more main rivals then these 2 companies??
