Noble Servicing In Aberdeen

[Iaing01]

Hey folks, i'm thinking about joining the Noble fold at some point in the not too distant future.

My problem is I can't seem to find any authorised dealers or service centres in Scotland...So my question is, are there any?

I don't want to buy I car I have to drive hundreds of miles to get serviced or to have warrenty work done.

Thanks in advance

Iain

Hi,

I'm in Westhill.

Had a 3R and now an M400.

Servicing + Scotland = nightmare..........

If you want more info email me offline.

[Iaing01]

You have e-mail

I am in the same position as you, now the Noble factory will no longer service cars, even though I am in Oxfordshire it looks like servicing & repairs from a Noble dealer will also involve big journeys for me. Apart from the fact I do not use it much, that is why I am probably selling my 3R. Great car but backup is getting worse & worse. I have had my car two years and cannot believe the changes in customer care over that period. As always some people will post on here every reason under the sun why Noble can do no wrong, and that you cannot take a Ford or Peugot to the factory, the difference being they do have a good dealer network in most peoples area.

Jaz, thanks for the e-mail. Not what I wanted to hear!

So wheres the nearest North of England service centre?

To be honest its enough to put me off buying one. I might just stick with the VXR 220 and get myself a fun daily drver....

Hi Iain,

The support I got from the factory was nothing short of first class even up to Mr Noble himself. It is a real pity the dealerships / service bays could not pull themselves up to the factory's level of service.

[Iaing01]

Big shame!

Jaz, where are you going to get yours serviced when the time comes around again?

The reason why no one is bothered about these LAME issues u mention is that NO CAR comes anywhere near the performance of a M400, so LAME issues are irrelavant as the performance far outways all the crap customer service. just look at the quality of the interior BIG WOW do we care its made of boyracer type materials? NO WE DO NOT!

If u want customer service go and by a porsche or ford as u mention!

GOD there's no pleasin some people, i buy a car for SHEER performance!

[Iaing01]

A bit harsh, I certainly won't buy a car knowing that if anything goes wrong with it that the nearest specialist is 400 miles away. No matter how good the performance is.

Good news is that fortunately it seems there is still someone in Scotland (not an approved centre) that might be able to service Nobles. All good.

Doesn't stop any "up narf" Lambo owners it seems....

Yeah but theres a Lambo dealer in Edinburgh.

Not until June 2006 there wasn't, and in 2005 Lambo delivered 1600 cars worldwide so it couldn't have been that much an issue....

Kind of a bit of a pointless argument really, the fact is there is now and there still isn't for Noble.

Terry,
Sorry to hear you're moving on...O&H mentioned it last week.

Best wishes for the future,

Martin.

Hello Martin

Torn between selling & not, the problem is I hardly ever use it but when I do I then think twice about selling. I have not made my mind up 100% either way just don't know what to do.

The answer is obvious...use it more!

You have a very good point, cannot argue with that logic.

Take a look at the I never thought I would say this topic on the Noble forum.

Obviously the things I said are not considered lame, long time Noble owners are not happy with the same things as me, sometimes just being a petrol head and having a performance car without good support is not enough!
