Right called goldens today they have told me that my car will be ready on the 17 of may 06 which means it will have been off the road for 12 weeks or 3 months. this is a pic of the last time i saw her on the day after the hull run










the days ive used it since the first breakdown on the 26th of feb


are;

1)The strines run and two days after

2)The day before blyton,blyton track day and back to the garage the day after

3)The hull run then the morning after


Now im going to speak to the M.D at the garage on wed afternoon so the question is WHAT WOULD YOU DO AND SAY to them


personally its a good job i car'nt get my hands on my SA-80A2 because im feeling a hostage situation at the moment


cheers lads and lasses any input is always apreciated thanks JAMES K. (JB24)

P.S to add insult to injury the milk bar on the second was to be my first unoffical date with a 19 year old blond and her half sister and i don,t think the remo has the same affect as the scoob!


cheers james.

 

I'd say what the hell, Are they gonna build you a new car or something?
Go down and have a word or 2 with the main man, tell him that the problems you had with the car when you bought it and what problems you have now also tell him you are going to write to subaru HQ in the uk and tell them of whats happened and what the garage have said they will do now and you did not expect this quality of service after many years of ownership, and how unpleased you are and many other owners can't believe that the problem has not been fixed, and see what the man has to say and take it from there, see if they give you any money back, also contact the warranty people as they are different to subaru 3 year warranty and see if they can offer any advice, i.e move to another dealership..
Another option may be to use the SGA 1979 i think as you brought the car from a dealership, they have to provide some warranty on the car etc, under s14 under fit for it's purpose and durability may have been breached therfore may entitle you to a few soloutions such as money back, refund, repairs in reasonable time now is 6 weeks reasonable? etc so you get the idea,
Right now what you needs to do, is go and grab the main men by the necks, well not like that but speak with them and what you are going to do and what options they can offer you try to bargin with them to get the best etc but I think if it was to take that long then they should atleast offer another scoob for that time..

 

it repeated

 

forgot to mention my advice is not 100% proper look on the web and see what help is available also you could visit the local CAB..

 

Gobsmacked at the sensible reply above!!!

James, if all else fails and you want to borrow the STi to impress the laydees....

Seriously, if you need a lift you know where I am.

I wanted first dibs on the half sister Dependant on what is meant by "half" anyway I'm not stirring Sticky's custard, even if it is low fat these days

 

That post didn't help very much did it

I'm gonna try and speak to Chris today and will point him in your direction. He may be able to offer some good advice

 

exactly what Killa said

some good advice there

 

im not sure thats a nice thought

 

I fail to see how they can be so accurate on when it will be finished...Parts availabilty can be the only reason, surely?
17th May, what are they doing, swimming them over???

 

spoke to the m.d mathew golden has restord some of my faith in them i got

1)free service which covers the cost of the warrinty
2)money for my tyres put on a tab
3)my alloys spraying atnthrasite (AL'S CHOICE OF COLOUR I THINK)
4)money for my breaks on tab
5)100 quid towards insurance cost

tried for a loan of a scoob but they don't have any to spare

had a good chat with mathew and am quite pleased with what he ofterd me but the part for my car still won't arrive til may 10th so the cars back to me somewere near the 15th

 

daft Q but what the hells wrong with it... must be serious... jeez what have they been doing...?

 

yeah its a massive problem something unheard of in the scoob infact any marque its A .................................................. .................................................. ................................ faulty gear box
