Hi folks

Bit of a favour to ask.

I am thinking of buying a car from this dealership, but the problem is i am from Stoke on Trent, about 7 hours drive south of Aberdeen.

I was wondering if anyone has come across this garage and has any feedback. It's a ford main dealer and i was just after some info about them really.

I have not viewed the car i am buying and would basically just drive up and pick it up and the only info i have is what the garage has said.

Trying to find out if the are reputable or not basically.

Thanks in advanced.

Cheers

No personal experience of them myself, but they are a well known, long established business in the area.

They've certainly been around a long time, indeed at one stage in the mid 1990's they were one of Vauxhall's top dealers in the UK (when they had the Vx franchise).

I know of no reason to doubt them.

They are not that far away from where I live (about 4 - 5 miles). We bought my wife's last car from them when it was a Vauxhall franchise, and didn't have any problems, and haven't heard any horror stories.
They are a family run business which seem to give good customer service.

I could have a look at a car for you, but it wouldn't be until next weekend (dark when I leave for work in the morning, and dark by the time I get home).

Bough the girlfriends car from there and they are a good garage. dont expect much of a discount from them. tried for half hour to get something off the car and the didnt budge much.

i bought my wrx with 9k on the clock from there nice service, friendly staff etc, car serviced, even got a tank of fuel all fine for best part of a year until i took it to get serviced at brian downies in kemnay (subaru specialist, top guy did a fantastic job on the car ) he said the oil was wrong and they put a cheap *** filter in no doubt a ford one which could have caused problems,
all i know is i will be going to brian downie for all future work to the scoob

Jonto - These guys are about 5 minutes from my house so if you want me to go and look the car over for you it would be a pleasure.

Guys - thanks for the great response.

Funnily enough a few years ago I bought my first scoob from Aberdeen and some guys off scoobynet went out to look at it for me an the report i got back was brilliant.

It's at times like these when forums like this come into there own.

They have a golf for sale and i am umming and arrrring about whether to bite the bullett and buy it. The garage have been nothing but helpful to be honest, but i just wanted to make sure they checked out ok. 1000 mile round trip is quite a journey.

Cheers guys
