Livingstones Of Uddingston

[mik]

Just popped in there for my 10K service.

Just oil & filter, but £56 ~ half the amount that various Arnold Laugh-a-lot dealers wanted.

Not the plushest dealer (so what?), but friendly & efficient.....despite the fact that my car is a euro-import.



More than I can say for Arnold-Clark @ Sighthill......

And only a couple of miles off the M8 too....ideal.....I'll be returning there.

Nice one!

I was thinking about taking mine out there for servicing anyway, and now glad to hear a good report about them. My 10k service will be during the next month or so...

So how long did they take to do the service? (I'd want to wait on it)
To save me looking up their number - could you post it here Mik?

I'm not even slightly interested in taking mine back to Arnold Clark (Clydebank) for anything other than warranty issues... very unfriendly, unhelpful, and incompetent too probably.....
I noticed a very similar trend with Arnold Clark VW on Crow Road too....

My mum also got her Megane from AC, and she ended up practically having a square go with Arnold himself!! Says a lot for that organisation (which if you ask me - is a contradiction in terms!!)

Dave,

Details are:-

W. Livingstone Ltd
34 New Edinburgh Road
Uddingston
Glasgow
G71 6BS

Tel: 01698 817137
Fax: 01698 816914

Can find them easy with multimap (just follow A752 to Uddingston....can't go wrong).

Took about an hour & a quarter to do my car ~ was booked in as "while-u-wait" for 8:00am, but my car wasn't actually taken 'til approx 8:45am.

Cheers Mik.

I know exactly where they are anyway.
Easiest way from M8 is off at the Showcase Cinema, then it's a straight road from there straight down by where the old Caterpillar Machine plant used to be...

I'll give them a call later on

Thanx Again...

Otherwise known as the A752

Never ask me for directions - cos all you'll get is landmarks and stuff to go on!!

What kinda area of Glasgow are you in Mik? I saw your car in the gallery on here, and have been trying to keep an eye out for you...

My car came from them, and I've always found them helpful. I would have no trouble giving them a recommendation.

(From what I hear your problems with AC aren't uncommon)

Dragging this up again to save a new thread.

Had the Ibiza in for its 20k service this morning. Took just a little over 2 hours including some other 'features' the car's developed during the cold weather. Been dealing with them for a little over a year now since I got the car. Highly recommended to anyone in the Glasgow area. Top service

 

[markoos]

yeah thats where i got my lc from ,and use em for all my servicing-very courteous and quality servicing !!!

 

[IainW]

The guy on the parts desk is very helpful from the few dealings I've had with him in the past month.

 

[P0LKR]

Again Highly recommmended. Can't fault them. The difference between them and AC is that they treat you as they would like to be treated themselves. Good family business.

 

[Shortie]

I used them for four and a half yeras when i had my ibiza gti and just bought a leon tdi from them, they're first class all round.

 

[IainW]

I noticed when I was in last week, the atmosphere in the place is so much better than an AC branch. Everytime someone answered the phone they were very polite and helpful to whoever was on the other end and they will go out of their way to help you.

 

[Mike McC]

I got my Ibiza serviced with them a couple of times, not taken the LCR through yet though. Due to not being able to wait while my service was done, have always asked for a courtesy car - never a problem, didn't have to book it three months in advance (unlike Arnold Clarke) and a great service too. So would highly recommend them!

 

[IainW]

Got my 30k mile service done this morning and the customer service was first class. Didn't have to book a week in advance (2 days was all it took), was able to wait on the car being done and got a cup of tea into the bargain.

Plus it was a very reasonable price compared to some large garage chains who I have experienced in the past. £18 to change the brake fluid as opposed to £55 at a certain dealership owned by a Sir.

Going for my 1st service there today - feel at ease from all the comments on this forum...

Got back from my service - £104. They also fixed my rear washer wiper as well as spotting a split in my air con pipe - which will be fixed under warranty. Great service and a free cup of coffee.

Big shout for Livingstones.First used them when i had my Ibiza 20vt.Now using them for my Toledo and have always received first class curteous service.
Miles better than any other dealer i've experienced,especially Arnolds.
The best bit is they are right at the end of my street too.

 

[cupraR373]

right at end of my road to gman

need to keep my eye's peeled for you. I in black LCR ill give you a wave

 

[gman]

I'll look out for you cupraR.I have blue Toledo sport,(not many about)and a mk2 Golf G60,which i'm just about to get back after having a full repray
Having just given a big thumbs up for Livingstones they just offered me a derisory trade-in price on the Toledo against the platinum grey Leon Cupra they have on their forecourt just now .Ho hum still top service though.I'll be keeping the Toledo a little longer now.

 

[cupraR373]

they done the same with me when i traded in my fiesta Zetec s. Would'nt budge on price for LCR either. I dont think the sales guys in there are on commision so they in no hurry to strike a deal with you unless your pay what their asking.

But i agree excellent service.
