Driving through Twyford earlier I noticed that there is now a Scooby Dealership there.

Can't remember the name now.

Anyone used it for servicing as it is a lot closer to me than the one over in Pangbourne or the one in Maidenhead??

Comments grately appreciated!! :)

Sounds useful. Where abouts in Twyford?

It is the garage that has the Jet Petrol station on the left as you head into Twyford from the Kennedy Garden center end of town.

I seem to remember it used to be a Mitsubishi Garage sometime ago but think it was something else inbetween. It was closed when I went past so didnt stop to see if they even did servciing or anything!!

Edited to Say apparently it is a Bulldog Service station according to the Subaru website!!! :)

I tried to check out the Subaru website but they have been tinkering with it and it's now 10x harder to use.

Would be nice to have a change form Lancaster as they always seem a bit expensive. I used to use the guys in Basingstoke until they lost their franchise. Wouldn't be so bad if scooby didn't need doing every 6 months. Is that reason enough to buy a new sti I wonder ...

I believe this place has only been open a month or two. It's interesting to see what's happening with the other local dealerships as well! ;):D

I have just spoken to the Service dept there!!!

They have only officially been Subaru authorised for a week and the Technical guys from Subaru are coming down to give them all the software etc tomorrow which includes prices for servicing etc.

He told me something very intersting about another local dealership but dont know If I would get in trouble for posting it here :D

It's generally handbags-at-dawn when you ask one dealer about another.

Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on Go on

OK but Mods - MattW told me too :D

The dealer I use and the one Andy uses is no longer going to be a Subaru Dealer which is why they are now doing it.

Now I am off to hide somewhere :)

Steve, that's what I was hinting at aswell..... however, this has not been confirmed AFAIK. ;)

Sorry Scott just got back from a week off and the brain isnt up to speed again yet ;) :D

So that'll mean yet another dealer's stamp in my book. Oh well, at least I get to see new places in the SE. Might even try S'hampton soon to get a little sea air! :)

That will be a little bit of sea air in Southampton as well! :D

It was a Hyudai dealer, well, what can I say it looks like Twyford is on the way up! Might have a wander later to see what they have on the forcourt!

Cheers for the edit Scott - can stop scratching my head now. :)

Not sure if I fancy ex-Hyundai chaps servicing my baby.

Nah me neither but may give them a go for my next service and be the guinea pig as it is only an oilchange, plus you never know the mechanics from the other place might be moving jobs aswell :D

I popped in there last week and chatted to the sales guy. He gave me a map of their service centre as it is not at the new car salesroom (only round the corner though).

They are very new to it all and it'll be a while before they are really up to speed. Luckily I'm a little way from needing my 10,000 service so they should ok by then.

I get the feeling that they are dead chuffed to be selling Scoobys now though.

I know what you mean MJB.

He sounded very excited on the phone too :)

What do you drive as so I can keep an eye out for you round these parts :) Are you coming to the Meet on Thursday??

Rumour has that there could be another Scooby dealership popping up soon! ;):D

In the past when I have turned up at this particular garage to see my brother in law they have always ignored my car. However, last time I was there, my car was surrounded by all the sales and mechanics guys! :D I've since been told why! ;):D

Andy, no worries, I read it myself and thought WTF! :)

:D

Where is that Scott?? :)

Hi 248SPG,
I've got a silver STI8 (PPP) and quite often drive between Binfield and Twyford area.

Is this the Twyford close to Winchester?

No its Twyford inbetween Maidenhead and Reading.

I used to take my wifes Hyundai Coupe up to Bulldog Twyford. Always good guys to deal with and seemed to be clued up mechanically to deal with some of the niggles we had with the car.....but thats another story.

Good luck to them, especially if they don't mind touching Jap Imports.

Which one, Pangbourne or Maidenhead?

248SPG .....thanks, not so close to me as I had thought

Pangbourne is dropping it's subaru francise.
By Maidenhead i guess you mean SGT which is my local dealer.
