Right guys, the car is due its first service. Have Narrowed it down to Either Aird Motors in Beauly, Auto-Ecosse In Dundee, or John R Weir in Perth. Either way its gonna be a fooking long drive from Lossiemouth!

Anyone had any dealings with these places, and whats the likely cost? £200ish?

Cheers

P.S - Would be interested to hear if anyone has used Autoecosse especially, seeing as they have just got the franchise. Also, any of the Dundee/Tayside lads approached them about SIDC discount etc?

Al have a word with Andy at awd,theyl use the genuine filters and keep your warranty and give you twice the service at half the price. il never go back to a dealers but i did have warranty work done after they serviced it with no probs.

and dont forget the sidc discount!!

Yeah, have used AWD in the past guys, but the car was'nt split new. I'm just of the thinking that I'd be better off using main dealers for the first 3 years before I punt the car. If the car was over 3 years old, I wouldnt think twice about taking it to AWD or Hypertech, as I know they are top places, and know their stuff.

well mine was 18 months when it started going to awd but if your dead set on a main dealer i wouldnt touch john weir with a long barge pole,euan 'l back me up i think. dont think too much of aird either but they may have improved and dont get me started on cupar!. to be honest about the only one id go to would be nobles in penicuik.

I haven't used Auto ecosse but haven't heard anything good about them and don't know anyone who intends using them.

They spamed me when they first opened (i assume they got the details from here as i think a few R.O's got it too) to offer various discounts. Not sure if their still available though.

And there is a few folk on here that have strong opinions on the guy who is running the operation :)

A F Noble are really great, really friendly, lovely garage and really clued up, would not look past them to be honest, I have used them for many years and they are excellent.

They will even wash your car too lol :)

Cheers for the replies guys. Falkirk/Stirling and Glasgow are probably too far for me to travel.

Anyone used Town and County since they dropped the franchise? And does the SIDC discount still apply there?

What happened with Weir Dave? I'm not taking it to Cupar.

Yes Al, the Discount is still there at T&C as long as you show your card!

Ive been in since they stopped, and to be honest nothing really had changed... they were just waiting to have the Suabru stock picked up then, so I dont know what the place is like now...
