Phil was a good guy, I heard he left. Good rumblings about Samantha.
The other bloke wasted my time, weird behavior of a sales guy to be so indifferent when you turn up in a V8V to buy another AM. His loss because he didn't get to sell us the DB9.

Service dept are superb. Well happy with all of them, (Keith and Nick).

As with most things, when things go right and the job gets done its all smiles.
Whats the alternative with an AM warranty?

Adam - I purchased my V12V from Wilmslow and the sales person, Samantha, was brilliant. Also Guy, the DP, is a top chap too who always finds time for a chat.
Ask for Sam, and you'll be looked after!

Sam smile

She's great.
Both phils and guy have left now so the only people in sales I know are Sam and Martin.

If you mention my name (Laura Taylor) Sam will know who I am and Sort you out smile

Sam always seems to get glowing reviews on here but whilst I've met her, I haven't dealt with her

I've bought 2 cars through Martin at Wilmslow and always found him to be excellent

In service, Keith is very good and Matthew Percival is also great - very enthusiastic and happy to put up with long pedantic lists of things that need looking at

JCT600 struggled to fix issues with my S but they at least tried, persevered and communicated.
They helped me get Gaydon involved to get a better resolution than they could offer and have owned up when they dropped the ball. After 4 visits to Wilmslow with both my cars over 3 years I saw none of that. Infact I actually had two lots of damage by them they did refused to own up to and did nothing about and an undriveable car twice.
I understand some of the staff have changed now, that may have improved things but to me the culture was/is wrong so I for one will not be returning.

There are plenty of other AM dealers out there that are more than happy to help with warranty work

I know you've had problems there mike and yet I've had the opposite, with Wilmslow finding & resolving issues under warranty (for instance when in for service) that I never knew or asked about - whether that's down to individuals, chemistry, luck of the draw - I'm just not sure

Who knows
Like I say they may have changed
Now I've moved further south JCT is a 5 hour round trip frown
So I need to start looking around again

Adam, if you get a V12 I'll never forgive you! There'll only be Jeff and I left at this rate!

Busted!!

Bins, I'm not man enough for the "Big Boys" car yet, so thinking about an "S" as a step in the right direction biggrin

Don't need it.
Can't afford it.
Won't drive it enough.
Haven' even got anywhere to park it at the mo.

Doesn't seem to stop me asking the inevitable "cost to change" question... smile
