Sad this dealership has recently closed as it was my local Seat dealer in Leigh-on-sea and only 4 miles from me. Unfortunately another victim of the bad economic situation.

apparently it is to become a Tesco Metro!

They are still doing servicing there for SEAT's tho??

Plus they weren't exactly the best dealer around were they???

i'll 3rd that!

You're not the young salesman James at Parkestone are you?

I always found the staff friendly there. Surely a SEAT dealer is a better place to go than another Tesco of which there are already 2 branches in the London rd.

I use Euro Car Parts too for servicing the Arosa myself, but you need a Main dealer for Model specific parts. Also lost JCB Skoda in Basildon for Fabia parts, another blow, have to go to Writtle for that now.
I'll be going to AMD at Thurrock for servicing and tuning the Fabia from now on.
Used to have a Golf TDI130 and went to VW at Southend, now there is a Main Dealer that is useless, looses keys, forgets your car is in for a service, doesn't do warranty work that other main dealers take for granted, I could go on.

Since the day I bought my car from Parkstone I had nothing but probs with their poor customer service (car was in their work shop more than on the road). So started using AmDEssex and never been back to Parkstone, 100+% better service and cheaper than Parkstone aswell:clap:

Parkestone really went out of favour with us when they gunned up all the wheel bolts too tight at a major service where the locking bolt sheared clean off, they washed their hands of it saying they only had a 'weak' airgun and didn't have the means to get them off:blink:

They also took exception when I went and drove one of their then brand new Mk4 Ibiza demo cars and wrote a little write up for the main site, and they branded it as insulting!

No major loss if you ask me.
