I know these are old posts guys but Edinburgh SEAT at Seafield are still SHITE
Bought my 05 plate Fr TDI and collected it last Tuesday 5th Jan......
Collection time was 2pm so was there for collection time, did the paperwork and guff etc etc and sales guy says the mechanics are replacing a few bulbs etc, ok, anyways turns out it was just being MOT'd..... Sales guy didnt realise the mechanics had the monday holiday....... fair enough as i didnt think about it myself.
Salesman caem back and said the tyres are still legal but they dont sell a car with less than 3mm tread....BUT we dont have them in stock, thats fine i said ill bring the car back when they come in, was told Friday and to just pop in, Train was late for the missus going to work in Edinburgh that day so said ill just drive her in then nip to SEAT on way back .......To get the ohh the tyres aint here yet due to the snow........bullshit, anyway was booked in for the following monday and was told at the desk i was also getting a oil and filter service (salesman said unless its due it wont get it)
Anyways the whole time i had the car from the tuesday there was a humming noise at 60-70mph, now i thought maybe its just the low tyres on the front (as i had this with a passat and thought it was a duff wheel bearing) so awaited till the tyres were fitted and had to get home to pick stepson up from school but noise was still there........Knew straight away that it was a wheel bearing that is now reallly loud at low speed.
Phoned up garage to tell them and they basically wouldnt take my word for it and had to re-book the car in for inspection, did this on Friday just past and 90 mins later i get told my car is ready............Is it fixed then.......NO we need to order the bearing in
, So it nows go's in this Friday afternoon for fitment
What a joke, IF the car had been properly MOT'd they would have noticed the wheel bearing was knackered.
Once its had the bearing done under the warrenty it will never be back there, i do my own servicing anyway but wont even buy a car there again
I did however buy a full service kit for the leon there and got all the filters and new sump plug at trade prices
