SG petch Middlesbrough:
Terrible, i will never set foot in here again. The only staff member who has been helpful has been Alex but i have a list as long as my arm of things that have gone wrong with my abarth competizione. See below:
Got car 1st March 2019. Upon leaving ESR and Hill Assist light came on. Took back to showroom but nothing came on. Told them this was due to a bad sensor in the brakes but gave the car back.
Fault came up again that night
2nd March picked up from work and stayed in the workshop for a few days.
Looked at sensor in the brake and this wasnt plugged in properly - fixed.
Car service completed 11/01/2020
25/02/2020 experienced a fault where my clutch was sticking to the floor
Rang SG petch, spoke to Staff, rang numerous numbers i was given but would not ring. Staff rang the number, recovery came to my work. Told i could not have a courtesy car as did not have one available. Explained i needed one.
