My dilemas have only really been with warranty stuff and the aftersales service (manager) Dan) The sales guys that i have used there in the past have been fine, i used paddy last time, and Neil Henderson the time before that (now chrylser sales manager). If you see the links below, you can kinda see what has happened to me in the past.

Also, when i had my boot resprayed under warranty, i was having some problems with my bump strips, had go them sprayed, and the paint had started to come off, only a small area, maybe the size of a 10p piece.
Sp, car goes into them, leave it with them for 3 days, pick it up, and they have cleaned it, hhmm, i wondered, especially after i told them not to. They had jet washed the whole lot of paint off the bump strips, then tried to make out that it was already like it.Got the body shops number, they wasnt interested and neither were seat. So in the end took it back to the place that i had it done and they replaced and resprayed for free. Now that is what i call customer service, not some place that vandalises your car, and then denise that it was them.
Also you will see in another thread above that they abused my car whislt i was in the show room by wheelspinning past the show room, then revving the car whilst it was in the workshop.
Have also heard many a story of them taking customers cars out for test drives after they have finished and sitting on the rev limiters in each gear, hand brake turns and sliding around roundabouts.One guy at there got pulled over for speeding in a customers car recently ( a silver TFSI Fr), and tried to outrun a T5 volvo. He promply got sacked on the spot when he returned.
I mean yes, there are maybe 1 or 2 good mechanics there, that do respect customers cars, and when i have purchased a car from them, the 2 sales people i mentioned above were very very good, but you get service people like this Dan guy who is an arrogant little :w4nk: that you would love to give a good kickin.
Like i said, try them, ill get my friend to keep an eye on your car, and let me know if its been abused. Some or most of the warranty work ha been fine there, and my car is far from standard and they still carried it out. But the times they have fcuked up, has been pretty big.
