Would you purchase from Brownhills Forums

bandaid

Andy, I have absolutely no idea if I would or not.

At the moment, with the less positive reactions from members compared to the more positive, I would simply be,too cautious to place my hard earned on Brownhills table.

but

and its a big but, if I were in the market for another M/H, and the following criteria were seen at a Brownhills, i.e.

Big discount off price, compared to other sources outside the group
The absolute make, model, spec and year,
If I used ( and applied, unlike normal) the excellent check list I found on the forum. If I personnally checked the vehicle over, with somebody with me,
and if it was the same vehicle and I checked it all over again before the drive off.....

then frankly,

probably, I would, yes.

I voted no! mostly because I havn't got enough money to loose if all was to go wrong. But I'm not impressed by the MBO announcment given by Brownhills, simply because it doesn't even mention administration. Seems that they're not telling the truth before the "new" business is up and running.

I like plain honesty Andy, They have a clean slate, why not mention it?

I'm nosey and want to know the ins and outs of a company who could be taking £40,000 off my hands

I have voted and it is a Yes. (Hymer UK, same company) In fact I bought at the Peterborough show. I was fully aware of the MBO and trusted my contact and also a fellow MHF'rs contact.

Do not think all at Newark are the same either, we had a nightmare of a salesman and could not believe his offer. I just went about contacting the right person and it got sorted. I spoke to them and would have dealt with them at Newark on the New van if our contact from Hymer had not been at the show.

I have had all of my problems sorted out at Newark and Hymer, It is not always there fault.

One question I would like to ask is, what % of accuracy do you expect?
By that I mean, all who want to slag off or had no intentions of buying from them would probably vote no. So that is swaying the result in favour of a no.
All of the fence voters have not voted so they will not effect it.
The Yes voters may vote but not all will post due to the possibility of load of abuse thrown at them.

I've been having a little mull over all the comments and thoughts about this poll.

I suppose what we're trying to ascertain here is who would and who would not buy from Brownhills at present. In other words given all that's happened over the last week and given the promises made by the Directors WOULD YOU BUY FROM THEM.

I guess this should do away with the 'don't knows' who won't vote because they don't know what things will be like in future.

It was probably silly of me to include the future in the poll question. I'm sorry.

Whatever that ratio might end up as is an indicator to Brownhills of where they've got to climb from to rebuild the business.

The limit of my business with Brownhills (Hymer UK acctually) has only been to the value of a few hundred pounds with the parts dept. over the telephone.

The service has always been good, and the really pleasing thing is that they have lots of spares for Hymers, and what they dont have seems to come quickly from Germany. Now I think this is good considering the MH in question is 18 years old.

The type of business I have done with Brownhills is normally the way in which you find out if a company is OK to deal with, this meaning that they were interested in looking after service and small ticket sales.

I always speak as I find, so I would consider buying a MH from Brownhills.
