Quenbys have been nothing but good in my experience, very helpful, even loaned me a car whilst installing my ice in my last car.

Adams - V. Expensive !

Quenbys - No experience

AB - Best of lot - and cheaper by a long chalk.

More words for Adams;

Department, Useless, Spares.(In my experience only, etc. etc.)

Oh, and I agree, VERY expensive!

Antony Betts - much better, took a lot of the staff from Adams when they set up.

I have found Quenby's parts/service fairly grumpy.

I have always found Adams to be very helpful.

I also found that the servicing and parts department are fine, I got my PPP in three weeks and they worked hard to get it fitted as quickly as possible.

When it comes to servicing there never seems to be an issue with the date I want.

Just like when the damper went I called them on a Friday it was ordered, supplied to them and fitted to me on the following Wednesday.

I've found Quenby's to be very good. Did me a superb deal on AP 6 pots(800 quid) and serving is reasonable too. SIDC discount(10%) on parts.

I always try and deal with John(parts) or Nick(sales) there, so not much experience of anyone else.

Was in Adams today, chatting to the service manager about some wind noise coming from my drivers window. Apparently the area five... oh not the glass technical area!

There were two guys in for servicing that got their cars from AB and didn't rate the service they got at all.

I guess it comes down to the dealers you get on with the most and are happy with.
