Wink just a quick note about a dealer

Car had its first service yesterday at Milton Keynes Subaru at fenny.
First class service and even a car wash thrown in.
Nothing is too much trouble for Drew the Service Manager and his team.
A few others could learn from this.
Oh and £55 for a WR1 1000 miler not bad compared to an Evo
A pleasure from start to finish with this dealer very professional.
I dont normally bother with this sort of **** dont mind a bit of praise when its due

Could have saved myself the trip to crossroads then!

Could have popped past to abuse a fellow owner though, or was that you that completely ignored me near the A5 around 10.45?

Agree, always exception service at MK Subaru..

It changed hands a year or so ago, used to be Deer Leap I think.

Do they still take your car to Aylesbury branch for the work to be done? I heard they drove it as MK didn't do the work. Perhaps that was a thing of the past which put me off going there.

not part of the Adams group anymore, hence the better service . Andy, the service the cars there now & they are in the middle of sorting out MK premises for a service centre at the garage service bay is a little small.

Have done 2 services 4 me now & as arron says, Drew is excellent.

Excellent service, car washed etc is standard service at my local Subaru dealer in York.

Nothing is to much trouble for them, but I guess the level of service is entirely dependant on the competance of the Service Manager and his staff.

I've had many services over a 4 year period and never had 1 problem. It took them 3 sttempts to identify the fault casing the rear fogs to come on when starting the engine, but that's the only slight annoyance.

10/10 to Pulleyns, Nick and his team.

Even the sales team are really good, not pushy and honest. It can be a struggle for them to agree that you need extra's such as PPP!!! "Surely the standard car is good enough sir" errr "no I need more power", "well why not think about it and have it fitted at 1K". I called the service manager next day and ordered it, the best £1600 I've spent.

another vote for MK Subaru. I also thought that Deer Leap were excellent as well for me and the mechanic was very thorough. Drew seems very attentive.
