Newagte Motors Gone

pullandbang · 2013-08-19 11:50:34

Seems Newgate have gone belly up at the weekend. Saw three car transporters clearing all the stock out on Saturday morning. I understand the staff were told on Friday evening at 4pm. You have to feel sorry for those who've lost their jobs.

Noticed that alright on the way to work Monday.
Only told on friday, sheesh that's bad form!
Suppose upmarket cars are a difficult business these days...

Saw a mighty fine Masseratti pull out of there the other day, and what a shiny beast it was!

That's a bummer, always found them extremely helpful when needed and couldn't fault the members of staff I ever dealt with either.

I used to buy service parts for my Vito and some Mazda bits and pieces from them and wether you went in for a wheelnut or looking to spend a right few quid the service in my experience was always spot on.
