Hi all,

Hello! I've finally joined PH and so this is a long overdue first post. I had an A110 Legende for 5 years and recently changed to a new GT.

I dropped in to the new Alpine dealer in Edinburgh yesterday. It is in the former Aston Martin dealership premises in Sighthill and has the Ineos Grenadier dealer alongside. It appears to be almost up and running - at least 6 A290s and a couple of A110s on site. I spoke to a friendly technician in the workshop - they are not doing Alpine servicing yet but will be as soon as they have completed the requisite training.

It certainly appears to be more of a standalone dealership with lots of dedicated signage and showroom space rather than just tacked on to the side of Renault, Dacia etc.

wasn't aware of this, very useful! Was there an ETA on servicing?
