Sometimes the dealers do surprise me
I know that they are probably expecting me to do this but sometimes you have to spread the word.
I went along to Phoenix Honda in Stirling last week because the guy over there had been recommended as a good service manager, by someone on this Forum (Thanks MartinJ!). He said he had no problem with bolt on Mods in terms of warranty and is happy for me to check back with him if I want some specific advice. He also demod a Spoon exhaust (dual) which I liked but was expensive. Gave me a wee look at one of his punters NSX that he's having modified dramatically and chatted to me at length about a few other things.
They also have a Mitsubishi Dealership next door, with customer facing attitude like that it's no wonder he's busy.
So I live about 30 miles from the dealership. My closest is Glenvargill in Perth (20 miles) who get somewhat less than shining reviews from the type r people in Scotland.
So that's all positive but here's why I'm so happy
1st service

First Service

I wouldnt have spent a penny on Mods if I hadn't seen this site so in some ways s2kuk cost me a fair chunk too.

There are some good dealers out there that do care.
Lookers in Warrington are looking up (see what I did there
)
Very professional, good work and good with warranty claims!
