Question

Has anyone used Dicksons for servicing their Scooby or for any other work?

I saw at the weekend that they have had a big delivery of import scoobs (second hand) and always have Scoobies in the car park.

I'll be nice to have a good local garage

Richard.

I know it used to be a Honda garage (in Dunblane) but didn't they change hands to be Dicksons? (imports specialists now).

Dicksons lost the Honda dealership last year due to the lack of profit made from the sale of each new car. They leased the building to Glenvaragil until they're new Honda garage was finished in Stirling. Dicksons of Perth (Merc) lost their franchise to John Weir and they decided to tackle the import market since the legislation changed in Jan 2002. They then moved to Dunblane and since stting up in Feb/March they are slowly getting their servicing & workshops up to speed. They also deal with motorbikes too. They brought some sales team with them from Perth but I don't know if they're mechanics are ex-subaru at all or ex-Honda.

Thanks caz

That will explain why the garage is so busy and so full of cars!

Might pop in one day and try and get a feel as to their Subaru experience (or lack of!).

Thanks again for the info.

Richard.
