StrikE Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Anyone used these guy, where they any good & how was your experience? Good or bad i would appreciate feedback guys. I have already asked a trusted source & seems ok so far They will probably read this anyway Thx Del
badbaz Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 When I looked into buying my Scoob, I visited them and compared their prices. Test drives weren't forthcoming at that point they just wanted to talk money. They let me sit in one (big wow) but they were too greedy with prices. Can't really fault them but I feel they could have been a little more helpful. At that time I think sales were booming. What colour are you getting? Black is the slowest remember! Red would be good going by Andy's performance!!
marko72 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Was down staying in Ayr for a few days, couple of months ago and decided to go into them on the off chance that they would have a wee part I was needing. Never been there before. Was just one young guy I dealt with at the parts dept and couldnt have been more helpful. Was just a wee part from my boot, less than a quid I needed and they had them in stock. Had a wee chat and left happy. Im comparing them to another Subaru dealer who checked this part out for me, had to order it and ordered the wrong part for me amongst other errors, so in that respect I was impressed with them. As far as servicing etc dont know but their prices for services etc were more reasonable than other Subaru dealers for the same service, when I have phoned them in the past. Cheers.
StrikE Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks chaps, well thats a 50/50 split so far anyone else? Barry, you can't beat a bit of black m8
big den Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Hi I have used them regularly since 2002 for new cars & servicing without any problems as have other members of my family. Cheers Den
Mike M Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I've bought my last 3 cars from them and overall they're ok. You have to push hard for any form of discount and whenever negotiating a trade in it's also hard work. But tbh overall I would say they're the best Subaru dealer I've dealt with Mike
mctwistuk Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I have bought two cars from them now and would recommend. Lorna in the service department is helpful.
dougie549 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Hi Del If you are doing a deal then only ask and Deal with John Spicer. Tell him Dougie sent you I have been dealing with them for the past 10 years now, if there ever was an issue it was dealt with very quickly and pleasently. Cheers Dougie
empty_heed Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 i use them for getting my filters etc & whenever i get geometries done, always a quick dispatch of goods, good service and very helpful on the phone.
StrikE Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Well that sounds like a resounding thumbs up for the folks at S & S Many thanks for the PM's and comments guys n girls
sparky_sj04 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Anyone used these guy, where they any good & how was your experience?Good or bad i would appreciate feedback guys. I have already asked a trusted source & seems ok so far They will probably read this anyway Thx Del I've bought a car from them and used them for some servicing and they were quite good. I also asked them to give my 2nd STI that i'd just bought privately a good look over and they very quite thorough so fine there. NOT the cheapest for parts (in my experience) specifically suspension struts and brake discs which I had done a lot cheaper at another main dealer in central scotland. Can't really fault them to be honest, but it's not who I use now. Primarily because the "other dealer" that I tried was better, so that's where I go. Mark.
StrikE Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 You collecting it today Del? Lol no, waiting for 4 phone calls regarding deals from various dealers, not in a rush so waiting for the right deal/car/money We shall see
Badgerboy Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Lol no, waiting for 4 phone calls regarding deals from various dealers, not in a rush so waiting for the right deal/car/moneyWe shall see "Still looks like it fell outa the ugly tree & hit every branch on the way down tho but hats off to it!!" Quoted from 18th July Del......................... Test drive change your mind? Suppose if your driving it though you wont need to look at it lololol
thewelsho Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Used them only once for a service and some diagnostic work, also had a chat about trading my Scooby in for a GB270 a while back. Thought they were really helpful and even changed a set of disks under warranty with no quibble. If they were closer, Id use them again.
StrikE Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks Welsho "Still looks like it fell outa the ugly tree & hit every branch on the way down tho but hats off to it!!"Quoted from 18th July Del......................... Test drive change your mind? Suppose if your driving it though you wont need to look at it lololol Did i say that yes the test drive instantly changed my mind m8 I was looking at a WRX with slim hips then i think but these STi with the huge love handle arches make me smile I seriously love this one
the squiggle Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 What you trading in against the new car? Nice choice but what colour?

14N-FR Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I have used them for geo set up and I am about to put the car back in on Friday again for geo set up (went through a pothole on Great Western Road and had to fix the damage )
corsa Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Bought my last 3 scoobs from John and both sales,service and after sales customer care is second to none. If i continue to have a scoob i will continue to use John,Cambell,Lorna and the team. 10 out of 10. davie
tomwrx08 Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 hi bought my hawkeye from them 7 wks ago,gary and the team r top notch, few oh ma mate have bought from there, defo buy from them again
WillieF Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Another 10 out of 10... I used to drive from Edinburgh to Ayr to have my car serviced there. Nothing was a problem - they fitted my PPP kit and suspension kits. If it hadnt been for a family filling my car these days I would have had at least another 2 scoobs of them. You get a prize if you can get John Spicer to smile

stevie mc Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I bought my STI 8 and the RB from them and have to say have always found the Service to be top notch, nothing is too much trouble for them and never had any hassle with any warranty work etc (the old strut problem ) As Dougie say's John Spicers the man to see
