Stratstone taking over the world
Brought my D3 from Bushbury LR in Wolverhampton, part of Reg Vardy Group. Now told that all Vardy owned LR outfits sold to Stratstone. Had 2 previous Disco's from Stratstone dealerships, and not impressed at all!
How many independants will be left soon?

Also most of them provide the most appalling customer service imaginable. So we have a lot to look forward to.

That's a shame, I bought my D3 from Bushbury earlier this year and previously a D2 some four years ago. Always found them very helpful and ready to negotiate a deal.
However, Stratstone's are my nearest dealer so I usually have it serviced there. No problems with the servicing and they did sort a problem out over the phone when I was travelling in Spain once.
However, I may now have to shop around when I need to replace current motor.*Disco3 7-seat Auto

I wondered what that smoldering pile of twisted silver scrap was in Stratstone Nottingham's forecourt. 10ForCash's Part-Ex.
Warning to any prospective D3 owners in Notty town. Don't go to Stratstones for an 06MY Zambezi TDV6 HSE with signs of, er, wear.
