Moretons Of Altrincham closing down sale.

http://www.moretonsofaltrincham.co.uk/

Due to the berevement of Mrs Moreton, this company is closing down.

I called in today and they have some bargains on offer.

They are a Honda dealer but specialised in repairs and servicing so lots of bits in those lines, well worth a call to seel if they have any bits you may need.

Re: Moretons Of Altrincham closing down sale.

It was Robinsons of Rochdale closing down sale last week, so I guess it's happening all over, everything half price,huge que's, traffic wardens lurking outside, and several members of this forum squandering their cash.
-: Happy days

Re: Moretons Of Altrincham closing down sale.

I spoke to the bloke on the counter and apparently all the property was in Mrs Moretons name and is now intestate (Spelling) on top of that Honda wants them to spend lots of money on the place, so they have decided to shut up shop

Another Honda own goal ? personaly I'd rather a tatty local shop staffed by people who can fix problems than travel Miles to a posh shed with salesmen but no mechanics.

Sounds like Your describing Wyder Honda there Stuart, those dozy gits forgot to fit my Scottoiler when I bought my TA from them.

No sympathy with them now theve gone Tit$ up

But I agree the Old tatty shops are like an Alladins cave of goodies

I guess yours is still under warranty?

I have been recomended a service guy in Weston near Runcorn by Paul-S and mine is in there at the moment for its 8000 and a few other mods.

I will pick it up on Saturday and see how it goes.
