I'm frustrated with the dealer network round here in North East London. VW to me does a much better job, My local one gives me the car back after service and the turbo boost pipe drops off and renders the car undriveable. They would not accept responsibility. Smoke test and glueing the pipe on since they didn't have the parts which dropped off the moment I started it (latter I assume since I was offered a temporary fix after it fell off after being returned to me after a service). Complete jokers and pretty dangerous to drive with their bodged service. I wasn't assured when I visited the next local Seat garage yesterday.
You buy a new car and want to entrust it to a good garage to be looked after. Seat UK needs to sort out its dealer network as well as not penning correctly choice into its model range. You want choice on the seats, engine and a decent franchise dealer.
This particular next local garage had not taken any pre orders yet on the Ateca citing lack of information from Seat on deals as the issue. My local duff garage I hung the phone up on them when they called back to say they couldn't match a brokers measly current discount which again is down to Seat HQ. Seems Seat UK has some work to do on the product offer and support network of garages. I had no complaints with Seat MK garage but back here you do feel like buying a different make even thou you like the car to an extent due to lack of decent main dealers.
