Accessories Discount?

What do you think the chances are of getting some discount on some accessories from my dealer. This is obviously aimed at Fiat employees really. Im after the carpet mats and the sill protectors and together they are nearly £100. Didnt know if i could expect a bit off them.

Thats interesting to know. They cant have a worse rep than Coventry Motor Company, i have found them to be very poor, especially the service department.

Ill try and give him a call later and see what he has to say.

Sorry if i seem ignorant, do you work for or have you worked for Fiat Dave?

Re: Accessories Discount?

Re: Accessories Discount?

tell him he can use the forum to gather feedback to improve the service if he likes, i know other dealers have, there was one that had loads of threads moaning about it when i first joined FF but we never hear nothing bad about them no more, even get threads saying how good they are, and i know at least 1 of their staff read the forum

Re: Accessories Discount?

I think im going to do that. At the end of the day if it helps make even one dealer better its a start. Im sure he will take on board what people have to say, after all it is in his best interest.
