Arden BMW Maidstone

Post by JayD » Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:36 am

I need to book the Z4M in as I think I have a broken rear spring and the Sat Nav is playing up.

I am not familiar with dealers in the area, has anyone used Arden before? Did they used to be Coopers Maidstone?

Cheers

Hi

Yes they did used to be Coopers, as far as I know straight buy out or name change job, still the same faces there, obviously I have used them when they were Coopers and had no problem at all, very efficient and knowledgable, I think they have only been Ardens for about a month so I cant see why anything would have changed to much,,

Apart from Bob the parts manager was in a suit when I saw him the other day (company policy change?) :D

Cheers for that Rusty, very helpful.

I spoke to the service manager on the phone and he seemed fairly knowledgeable and helpful. Going to run the car down to them tomorrow for them to have a look at it.
