Re: Best dealer
We bought from Derby [motorhome plus]. I can't say that they are the best but they do stock the full range of AS vans to view indoors. Well worth a visit.davidjpowley wrote:Hi, Im thinking of buying a new Auto-Sleeper and would like to know which dealer is the best to go to in the uk..thanks in advance

Re: Best dealer
I wouldn't take a guess in your part of the country (although based there for most of my working life) but there are 2 dealers in the East Midlands who have good reputations and seem popular with members, Motorhome Plus at Derby has already been mentioned the other is SMC at Newark

Re: Best dealer
Spinney in Cheshire and Cotswold Motorhomes near Cheltenham have both got happy customers from this forum. Whether you want to have to travel such distances for after sales is your choice of course.

Re: Best dealer
With Motorplus, yes but to be honest all of my gripes have been either the fault of AS or FIAT. The dealers have done a great job for us and as I said they stock the full range to view and compare at your leisure [even if you eventually buy from elsewhere].davidjpowley wrote:Ok Machloop thanks for that..what about after sales...been happy???

Re: Best dealer
We've had two vans from Motorplus and been very satisfied with the service there, some of which included warranty work.
We've been motorhoming since 1996 and have bought from Brownhills (never had a problem with the vans from there so I can't comment on their service if you have a problem), and from Todds of Preston.
Motorplus has been the best all round.

Re: Best dealer
We have bought from three dealers,
Marquis Preston (No comment)
Motorplus Derby (Excellent) and
SMC Newark (Excellent).
Our van is a Mercedes Bourton.
Cant comment on after-sales as we have had any warranty work done at the Autosleepers Service Centre and had superb service.

Boaby, how on earth can it be sunny in Bridlington all the time. If so, I might just move there myself from part sunny South Wales.

Can recommend SMC in Newark. The Salesman was a bit patronising but the after service has been excellent. We've had several small issues fixed under warranty.
