gazza007 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 Decided that it was time to get Cambelt changed now Alhambra has hit 50K and been 10K since last Service when dealer should have told me that Cam belt & tensioner needed to be done then.Gave SEAT Hobin a call at Preston as didn't fancy Manchester dealers. SA Intruder said that they were OK. Also called a few other dealers for comparison. They worked out to be the cheapest but I manged to knock them down further. Major Service & Cambelt change Quote
Guest SA Intruder Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 Gaz, just had my 40000 mile service at Hobin. Full service + cambelt/tensioner + front and rear pads + tyre repair (nail) Quote
gazza007 Posted May 26, 2004 Author Report Posted May 26, 2004 I said I'd give them a mention.Is it easy to find? Quote
bushm Posted June 3, 2004 Report Posted June 3, 2004 For anyone in the Norwich area, I just had my 60,000 mile service and cambelt change done on my Gal by Taverham Motor Company (01603 868745). They lent me a car and charged Quote
gazza007 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Posted June 9, 2004 Car went in to Hobin Preston on Monday morning, got a nice new Ibiza to play with and to run the little ones to Blackpool.When I went to collect, it was still in workshop. After Sales Manager said that Pin on new belt tensioner had snapped & they would have to fit a new one and they would have to keep it over night. (Good job it didn't happen on way home). Anyway he promised to deliver the car personally last night to South Manchester even though he would have to drive back up to his home in Lancaster. They have also replaced my Webasto Aux Heater FOC, which failed earlier this year. They had a word with SEAT who agreed that it shouldn't have failed. I'm not sure every dealer would try & do this for you, I think they're at least Quote
Guest SA Intruder Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 Not many Ford garages do that do they? Glad they sorted you out - and they don't argue or complain either! They seem to get Seat UK to agree to Warranty easily too. Quote
gazza007 Posted June 9, 2004 Author Report Posted June 9, 2004 I sent an email to Mr Hobin thanking them and saying that I was impressed with Darren's attitude.For all you Ford & VW owners Mr Hobin said that they are happy to Service your vehicle too.Hobin Website Thanks for the rec SAcatch you around Quote
