Bought my car off them, and fairly happy with their sales people and attitudes toward potential customers.
I did buy/order the car just after xmas so perhaps they wanted the sales!
got a nice discount from them.

Not used their service dept yet but they seem nice and friendly.
Ordered some stuff on Monday, not in stock but it'll be in thursday and they said they'd call... which they did about 9:30!
so please about that... their techie's seem knowledgable and are free to talk to you as well if u wanted.

so far so good.. will see if they ordered the right parts when i go to collect!!

Just had my car into them today to get my front door handles replaced.
Gave them the car at 8:15, and was called at 10AM to say it was ready for collection.

On collection, the car was cleaned to a good standard (no streaks!) and the work was carried out to a good standard too.
The handles you can tell are new (they have a strange feel to them), and they're also the same colour as the rest of the handles.

The service staff were friendly both on the phone and in person - yes, even at 8AM when i was the first person to walk through.

so i'd give them 9/10... they lose 1 because my Clio courtesy car had a dirty windscreen inside. The guy before me had used his hand to "de-mist" the windscreen.

I'd have no problems going to this dealer for my 18k service in a few thousand miles.

Nothing to do with this particulary dealer, but I am still amazed that in the year 2006 its a bonus if a dealer is half decent at all when this should be STANDARD practice from all car dealers?

Will we ever see the day when ALL dealers get 10/10 ?

I dont think this will happen anytime soon if a had to have a bet on it.

heh, it SHOULD be standard practice, however, as its not commonplace... its a bonus when it does happen!

gotta agree it should definately be standard practice.

:lol: just bought new Megan Expression 86dci from PGC Renault Rochdale, the service I got was first class, would certainly recomend this dealership to all the protential purchasers in the Lancashire Area. Seems that it is a small family concern, and one that appreciates and looks after its customers.

Bought my first car here, a brand new clio 1.2 16v (52plate).

Sales staff seemed pleasant enough when ordering, although some how my car 'got lost' in between the factory and the dealers. Had to persistantly chase up progress via phone calls. Sales manager filled my tank up as a goodwill gesture when i answered 'Not Completely Satisfied' on the survey they gave me when collecting the car.

Now the service department.... oh dear! Rude, condesending and patronising staff on reception, tried to make out i was crazy and also a liar when i said i could see my car in the car park whilst they said the mechanics were still working on it. I found a bracket left on top of my engine that the mechanic had forgot to refit. All in all a bad experience. I vowed never to buy there again.

Bought my next car at Bury Motors, another brand new clio, this time a 1.5 dCi 100 (05 plate).

Cannot fault the sales or service staff, bent over backwards to please me especially when the car showed up with door panels falling off, glovebox light missing and other little niggles. After these teething problems the car was an absolute belter, especially after i fitted a diesel tuning box off ebay.

:ot my mum used to do that with the back of her hand, one day she asked me if I knew why her windscreen had small circles etched into it in front of the driver, that will be your diamond ring then............................
