crap service? - funny they just recorded record profits in this economic climate - against the trend of all other dealerships in UK.

That doesn't tell you anything about aftersales service though. People taking their Mini in for a service which is then returned without any gearbox oil, leading to the gearbox being destroyed, however, paints a picture.

Easy to tell when the school holidays have started. To be fair the campaign regarding setting fire to the moors behind Torry and Kincorth have been effective.....

TBH I'd rather see the vandals destroy/set fire to cars in dealerships than in the street.

Fair point. Maybe JC should be looking at nw premises if they've outgrown their carpark. Either that or substantially beefed-up sceurity. Still a shame to have to go to those extremes.

Scrote-bags. I remember years ago a "mate" of mine dumped a bag of chips and curry sauce on a lovely M5 parked on Broomhill Road walking home while pished. I don't understand that kind of petty vandalism, let alone this unfortunate (and very un-petty) vandalism at John Clarks!

I've had my fair share of vandalism on previous cars. It's made me really paranoid about where I leave my current car
