I used Lind Maidstone too - never again. I agree that both their Sales and Service Departments are very poor. I think that Lind have lost about 15 sales because of me.

Although I haven't used them, I have heard good reports about Whitehouse in Ruxley (Sidcup) and Keston (Bromley). I think that dinger uses L&C in Tunbridge Wells. Send him a PM and see what he says about them.

Broad Oak in Canterbury are pretty good. Like all dealers though, they have their moments!

Don't waste your time there.Although the staff showed me how to fix the baby car seat etc ,they did not seem too interested in selling me a brand new car.They even did not let me test drive the car as they wanted to see the part 2 of the driving licence(i have got the new one with photocard on).I registered my interest to test drive the MINI Cooper online at www.mini.co.uk last week and they even failed to make contacts with me before I reached the dealership.Most unprofessional and inefficient!Ordered my new Cooper in London.Happy with their service.

I use the Coopers/L&C in Tunbridge Wells, I have been back a number of times, and while they have had their moments I have to say that they have made me a happy bunny ( huge discount on driving lights) to make up for it. So I will recogmend them. They know what they are doing, and do have a clue.

Couldn't fault the sales side of Whitehouse Ruxley - 100% superb (but i do know the MINI sales manager). As for the service dept. Utter, utter rubbish.
