Stratstone Newcastle....
What a bunch of lying insincere fools....
I would rather travel to the ends of the earth, with my Defender on my back, than ever set foot in any Stratstone ever again.

Nobody has really answered the question there, yet...

What exactly makes stratstone, or indeed any dealership, bad, insincere, liars, fools etc.

Not doing work they say they will

Saying they have done work they havent

Bodging repairs/not completing the proper repair

Not communicating with the customer

Not having a basic grasp of the cars they sell/service/maintain then causing errors etc because of that

Not respecting the customer

Making the same mistake more than twice

Not helping the customer

Not recording items as they should be recorded

Not undertaking repairs correctly meaning the repair doesnt last

Not preparing for the repair and then not allowing the correct time for the repair

Keeping the car, but not actually doing any work to it and then returning it

Damaging the car whilst in there posession

Doing work on the car that damages it

Not checking work before it is signed off as customer ready

Not understanding what TOPIx is and then not using it to check work/actions or processes/service bulletins

Is that enough of a list for you - its what happened to me an my defender from them Mike

The one in Durham was equally as bad before it closed.

I will never use Stratstones again which is a shame as I know 2 of the local sales guys outside of the dealership.

Just for balance I use Stratstones Pickering and find them very helpful, I get to talk with the mechanic and often get things done on short notice. Often a lot of dealers are just interested in the Disco and Range Rover brigade and don't really have a history of looking after or understanding Defenders or their owners. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.
