Hopefully Vauxhall dealerships will not suffer from the same, whingeing customer base as their PSA corporate partners, although, apart from 1 experience on behalf of a female friend of Peugeot trying to dodge work that should have been carried out under warranty, most of the reported claims of bad attitude have been against a variety of Renault dealers. Last time I used a French car dealer was the Citroen dealers in Blackburn to do a full service including all belts and check on my recently purchased second-hand Xantia. The car was returned on time, fully valeted, at the quoted price (no "unforseen extras") and ran without problems for the 3 years I owned it. With top spec, and full leather, that VSX TD was as comfortable and luxurious as the Rover.

Reliability is for boring people who lack ambition, aspiration and the desire to push boundaries. Ditto Japanese and Korean cars. They lack excitement and class. Perfectly fine if that is all a person desires in life. |

If you can't break it you need to try harder......some would say.

The Japanese build cars to a philosophy, they can build and they DO anything the Germans do and better, they just choose not to. A nation that is capable of building a train that can travel at over 200mph, reliably as long ago as 1964 ( whilst the rest of the world was using steam is capable of doing anything.! Enjoy your day, and try not to get too excited. |

If you are happy with your Honda Jazz or something similar - great. I'll stick to my aspiration to drive an XF, CLS or an E63. Tell me - do you work in a library? Last edited by MSS; 23rd April 2019 at 17:43.. |

Besides, many mechanics don't seem to care one bit about the work they deliver. Hence I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. |

Most people respond to how the public deals with them in a like manner. Equally, if you want to see people trying to take others for a ride and generally behaving like complete ignorant idiots, just send a day listening to calls into any service centre or sitting in a repair shop of some sort. Most reasonable people would be shocked at the appalling behaviour of a significant percentage of the public. |
