A sad day. This great dealership with excellent customer care and service are closing.
I only found out a couple of days ago. I feel like I lost members of my family... so sad

Hope the staff who worked there find a good job and that the owners are keeping well.

My both Jags loved you!

They are all gone or are going sadly , largely down to JLR and this Policy of retailing all JLR Products on one site
and the associated Investment which is needed , sadly the small Independents disappear to be replaced with the
Big Boys . RE Cremer , Dunham and Haines , the list goes on throughout most of our Towns and Cities .
Does anyone have a list of Jaguar Dealerships from the Seventies so we can compare with the Present Day , we could
have a good craic over the Winter reminiscing . I particularly like the Royles Premises , they just don't build in that 1930s
sort of design anymore , older members will know what I refer to . Is Stratstone taking them over ?

The Indy in Macclesfield, Horner & Hudson, bought some of the equipment from Royles.
It really is a shame that they are closing, I bought my first XJR from them and thought their customer service was very good.
Here it is;

Cheers reddiesel.
I bought it just after they first came out.
I owned a new Aston V12 DB7 at the time but it was forever being repaired. Every time it went in, Aston lent me a new X350 XJ6. After 8 months of Aston ownership I got fed up and swapped it for the XJR.
Funny how I've now come back to Jag ownership after being disappointed with the Bentley GT experience. That was another costly pain.

Just spotted this and I'm afraid my experience was anything but excellent as they failed TWICE to correct the 'tank slap' on an XF I had. Not only that but they ****ed up re-assembly of the fuel tank and the fuel gauge didn't work and I ran out of fuel on the M62.

I hope they all find jobs though. The site itself is in the wrong place. Not big enough to fit all the new models from Jaguar into the showroom.
