By comparison to my experience with the dealer that I bought both my GTs through, I've found Meridian in Lyndhurst to be far better....
... but still not perfect, a pot of touch up paint only took three visits and 2 months to arrive at Meridian (ultimately sorted by the dealer principle), where as the damaged trim that I spotted on the day I collected my new GT, that I was told would be ordered and replaced under warranty, was in fact never ordered by the original dealer and so was ultimately ordered and fitted by Meridian.
Funny thing is that just one person can make or break a dealers reputation. Nigel, the dealer principle at Meridian, knows me by name, remembers little details from chats we've had in the past, invites me to pop in for coffee when ever I'm passing.... and I've never spent a penny with him, yet. (That's not a euphemism by the way
)
Where as at the other dealer, only the salesman knew my name, every time I went there I had to explain who I was, phone calls were rarely returned - if ever,parts were not ordered, warped discs were skimmed rather than replaced, and in a period of less than 6 months I'd spent in excess of £160k with them!
