Question

Has anybody got anything to say about Donalds in Peterborough , have they hired any "staff" from Hutchinsons (spit) ?

I would rather they didn't hire anyone from Hutchinsons - I took my car there for a 1000 mile oil change and they managed 20 miles in it - needless to say - it never went back.

I don't know anything about Hutchinsons.

Donalds (Peterborough) have been Mazda dealers for ages and took on Subaru a few months ago. At least one of their technicians has been on a full Subaru training course.

They did my 30k service very efficiently. A wash and hoover were a pleasant surprise. Can't comment on prices because mine's a lease car including service costs.

I'll be taking it there again at 37.5k.

My sentiments entirely Alistair they serviced My old Impreza Turbo. then rang to say they needed to keep it overnight . got it back , and noticed a strange mark on the paint by the bonnet edge , got the Auto Glymm polish out and was down to metal after three wipes !!! they bent over backwards to get it re-sprayed propperly , but always denied any Knowledge of it . I got IM involved and not long after they finaly lost the franchise , I don't claim all the credit

Donalds have been trying to identify my parrallel import in order to get me a new oxygen sensor , for several days now, hope it's not a bad sign
