Which Herts/Bucks Dealer?

[PandaPaul]

Hi! My panda is soon to be due it's first annual service, having been almost fault-free, and being my first Fiat, I've almost no experience of the franchised dealer network. Can anyone recommend a main dealer in the South Herts or Buckinghamshire area they've had good service at?

I travelled to the West Country for a good deal when it was new, which is a bit far for a service!!

i havent had a service at either of these but theres the main fiat dealer in bletchley where i got loads of bits from and they have been great

there is also a place near mine in blakelands i think or tongwell that specialise in servicing on fiats and alfa

Dunno mate, i run the parts dept so have very little dealing with cars coming through the workshop.

Rory yeah let me know what you are after mate and i'll help you out with some discount, I have cleared out a fair amount of seicento bits to make way for 500 stock so let me know what you need and i'll see if we have it!

Don't go near Perrys they have ripped me off on my Stilo and Punto, even went on the radio to obtain a refund for faulty work from Perrys of Amersham...£140 and an apology after naming and shaming on air

I've tried a few in Herts:
Orginally bought Multipla from and had serviced at Lisles, Welwyn, but they've closed down now.

Test drove Pandas and have had 60k and 72k service on Multipla at Desira Hertford. Very good, but expensive, and tried to add charges for items that should be included in menu price anyway. But they did fix a fault we'd had since new which Lisles couldn't do.

New dealer in Watford - Palmers, previously Peugoet. Had 4x4 Panda serviced there - never again. Nearly £300 for 24k service, they didn't do the plugs 'cos they didn't have them, and they left the 4x4's undertray off. Only parts were oil and filter, so what else did I pay for?? Still waiting (4 months now) to hear back about the plugs (I've bought them and fitted myself since then)

Glyn Hopkins have just taken on Fiat franchise in St Albans - next to Nissan on Hatfield Road. No comment to add yet...
