I would be a bit surprised if it does, seeing as I have an inside mate at Westovers, BUT if the site changes hands then maybe, we'll just have to wait and see.

Make sure you keeps us up to date on the gossip

Martin_David

word from my dealer is that george hartwell in bournmouth is taking over from chapelgate motor

danny-boy

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Hartwells are SHOCKING!!!!!

My 106 went in for minor service, and the next day it broke down, needed a new clutch, flywheel, in the end they tried to charge to £770 for damage they caused, they said it wasn't covered by warranty as it was wear and tear, but as I pointed out the car was only 6 months old and only had 8,000 miles on it.

After hours of arguing and refusing to pay them, they gave it and did the work at their cost.

They are the worse with Olympian in very close 2nd place.

I think Vale will be doing my servicing from know on.

RON

Davey p, seeing as you're something to do with Westovers, (i got that from another thread!) do you know anything about this, I ahven't seen my mate for a while to ask him...........

DBY

GUNNER

MIKE....

GUNNER

I hope they hurry up and make there decision soon

DBY

Noing our luck in Dorset its going to be "Toys R Us" Then again they will probobly be better than ****wells.

Westover Skoda is currently on Poole Road, I wonder what is going to take the Skoda place then. I saw some skodas in that building next to the Toyota place on Wallisdown road the other day.

I was told the Fiat dealership in Charminster has now gone, Olympian have that now.

Maybe the Subaru dealership will be on Poole Road and I'll have to pass by it every morning, lunchtime twice and evening on my way to and from work

RON

Iamgine that Rich, driving past a dealers every day, knowing that you can't get any bits there!!!!!!!!!

GUNNER

Right,went and looked for myself this morning and there are brand new SKODA sign's gone up on forcourt in Corfe-Mullen so that's one place crossed off the list of possibilities.Keep the guess's coming boy's.

MIKE...

DBY

Have just spoken to IM who inform me that the area sales manager is talking to two very strong prospects at the moment! So dont hold your breath boys this could still take some time.

They have been in talks for ages, I wish they would hurry up and sort it out

RichB

Ron, (to counteract that rather Bitchy comment )

I have an STI mate, I don't need any more bits

RB.

Terry_T

Any more news anyone

DMB

Nope even Chapelgate don't know who its going to be, IM are saying go to Vale or that place in soton that i can't bring myself to mention...

RON

I've got my money on Westover getting the franchise, they've clearly free'd up the Wallisdown road showroom for something!!!

RichB

Their Nissan garage is thinning out on Poole road, they seem to be only selling second hand odd bod stuff, I reckon Nissan will go to Wallisdown and Subaru will be Poole Road.

RON

Rich,
Nissan ARE IN Wallisdown Road, and the Poole rd site has been sold for development!!!!
So, still no word on Subaru then..........

PS, did you see my thread about castle Combe this wednesday???


Ron.

GUNNER

Booked my car for service at Triton's last week,Had a chat to a guy called Jason (i think) he told me they where looking at purchasing all of Chaplegate's stock+workshop tool's,so will be fully geared up for subaru's.Not much good for waranty owner's,but hey i don't have a waranty so suit's me fine....

Mike..

RichB

All they then need is a better site not in the **** end of no where! Interested to hear of other opinions of them. I took my car out there for a look and for some advice on a noisy turbo but all I got was "yes, it is quite noisy isn't it..." Er, yes but why? Is it about to expire? Anything else would have been quite nice

RON - Have not seen that thread yet, probably can't make it though, bit short notice and I have to conserve my holiday and cash. Another track day is planned soonish though, need to get it out my system!

GUNNER

Piece in the B,mouth echo tonight about Triton taken all of chaplegate's tool's ,equipment,etc.Obviously taken the opportunity to advertise there Company to take on Subaru servicing/performance-tuning in the local area.Sale's of second car's are also well under way as well.They allready have my buisness and was well pleased with there help and advise...
