Herbie80 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I've heard Autoecosse advertising on Tay FM that they are launching Subaru/Isuzu this weekend - Might head down to check out what they have to offer. Thinking that the new Sti they have in the window would look great with me behind the wheel, although with my current mileage i might actually walk away with the new boxer diesel legacy! After hearing that the Subaru in Cupar has now closed (or atleast changed to citroen) just thought I would let all those fellow Impreza (ond obviously all other models) enthusiasts that there is now a Subaru new car Dealer and service garage closer to home in the Tayside area. It is on Monifieth Rd, just along from the honda garage. My wrx is due a service so will head there and let you know how i get on. Anyways - work beckons. Link to comment

Please do. i haven't been in past myself yet but i know someone who has tried to order parts with very little success I wonder how many of their technicians/mechanics are subaru trained or if they've carried over from what was there previously, san yong, wasn't it?

I was in Eden Subaru in Cupar at the weekend (looking for a battery for my key) and it was still Subaru. Nobody there mentioned anything about closing. I also got a letter the other week from them for a service reminder. Only ever used them when I first bought the car (privately) about a year ago for a service. They seem ok, if not a bit pricey (as you would expect). The used cars they sell are definatly over priced though. Let us know how the one in Dundee fairs up as I think I would return to Subaru for the big 60,000 mile service (which is still a few years away ). Link to comment
craig79 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The car went into Autoecosse for the dreaded mot, no probs what so ever If you can; get holds of Gary he'll do his best to help you out whatever the prob. They are having their opening day this weekend (sat and sun i think), will be skooting across on the sun to show a face and have a blether. Will be using them again no question Craig. Link to comment

Do they have people in there who have a history of working on Subarus? Link to comment
craig79 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Couldn't honestly answer that mate, but what I can say is that most of the cars that are on the forecourt are of a pretty high standard. Gary's the sales manager and came from Eden in Cupar, so there's prob not much he doesn't know about the brand. Craig. Link to comment
dipsy Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Going past this morning there is no car's in the show room looks like it was being done up Link to comment

the_ex_leper Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 we got a letter from them today letting us know it was new we bought the RB from gary at eden so that will be closer for us to get it serviced now woohoo Link to comment
Herbie80 Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 I just dropped by after work and spoke to Gary, THey are launching this weekend, loads of scoobies in there now including my soon to be new one....Blue Sti (I wish). The thing that might get me back is the free food on offer tomorrow (Credit crunch is getting to me!!!!) They are offereing some excellent deals if you join their loyalty club (It's free) to get current Subaru drivers into the workshop. -25% off Servicing until end of year - 10% off parts and accessories all the time usual stuff like courtesy car/pick up etc. - track days Hope this helps.. PS: apparently workshop staff are factory trained as well as old staff too. Link to comment
thefastone Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) Actually suddenly... I'm angry again, Ive just had an unsolicited text message from them... It was asking me to pass the message to SIDC members.... Edited September 12, 2008 by thefastone Link to comment
craig79 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Nipped into Autoecosse on Sun, wall to wall subaru's - great. They had the new wrxs, looked alot better than the sti I thought, 260bhp oot the wrapper with some tasty 18's . Promptly filled in my loyalty form so looking forward to some savings which is more than welcomed right now. All this talk of personal texts and emails, I'm feeling a bit left oot, I had to get the car in for an mot before I heard anything Nothing like the personal touch tho. Chatting to the other sales team they were really friendly and certainly don't give off that 'i'm only after your dosh' vibe, so with my complimentary coffee and wee piecies I left a pretty happy bunny Craig Link to comment
scoobykev Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I've been spam emailed by this lot too. I've still not been in past but was informed it's taken them 3 weeks to get a price for a caliper repair kit, not good. And the mechanics may be factory trained, just not necessarily from a subaru factory. Link to comment
FK1 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yep, Gary knows his stuff, he was also sales manager at Town and County many moons ago too. well that puts me off Brian Link to comment
craig79 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Must admit never had a problem from Gary maself.

Actually speaking of Eden has anyone heard from the big man (Russ) havenae heard hide nor hair from him for ages ?? Craig. Link to comment
