One of the things that always strikes me following various dealers on Instagram is how many of them seem to organise to do things like tours, track days, hospitality at events etc

Now my dealer (Stratstones) don't appear to do anything like this, with the one exception of a breakfast meeting at a local cafe one Saturday. In contrast Works Services (I get my cars serviced there) invite me to all sorts of things (most of which I don't go to as it's a bit far for a mid-week drinks reception).

So my question for forumites is who does what? Have you done a particularly nice tour or track day organised by your dealer. I'm not necessarily saying people should choose their dealer based on "aftersales" but it would be interesting to see which dealers put effort in and which don't

Loads from Newcastle: trips to Goodwood; Anniversary party this week; free breakfasts and lunch on a recent drive out I organised; free one hour driving lessons with AM pro drivers.

Things like this really create a great relationship.
