Dealer closure

[Donal]

In N Ireland after the first service of my MG 5 trophy, which I really like, I had been waiting for nearly 3 months for a part as my rear passenger door lock wouldn’t open from the inside.I called the dealer and was eventually informed that he was no longer a M G dealer and couldn’t sort out my warranty claim. He could service my car but without AA cover.
He explained that M G wanted him to upgrade his showroom to keep the dealership. He declined because of the cost involved.
I now have to get another dealer to check the problem and reorder the part. The dealer is over 50 miles away. Is MG again clearing out small family dealerships.

Yes they are and there's quite a few posts on this already.
For my local (family run) dealer, they cancelled the sales franchise but allowed them to continue with servicing.

Same here with Apple MG in Gravesend.
