When I used to live in Witney I wouldn't use them as they used to condemn Subaru import's!

I've always found them to be a really friendly, helpful, family run firm who love their scoobies. No criticisms of their service either. Top guys (and girl!).

I was about to say that Scoobyboy from on here works there. But as you can see he is on the ball.

Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. Perhaps I should have added to my earlier post that my opinion is based on taking a "buyer beware" approach in most things, especially getting the car serviced. Never does any harm to shop around, get a few prices, then see what deal you can get.

Just got back from having a morning out in Witney

But have to say was very pleased with the dealership and the work, and have further work booked in for next week

Would have liked them to have had a few more cars for sale, was hoping to fall in love with a new sti in white


Not a huge dealership but the polite and friendly service makes up for it

Glad to hear you had a good visit. I think that most of their business is in servicing at the moment, but a while back they were definitely worth talking to about new cars even if they didn't have what you wanted on the forecourt. It might be worth giving them a ring and asking for Simon (the dealer principal).
