    Think I had heard that they are moving to smaller premises and scaling down on certain operations.

    Closure might impact on their Oakwell advertising especially as Mick Hayselden has passed away. No point in pushing yourself at Oakwell if your business is based in Doncaster.

    They've usually collected my car for service and brought it back. I can't see them doing that from Doncaster. :(

    Wasn't it Hayseldens who started in Wath bringing in the first Datsuns?

    Drat. I've just bought another VW and was quite happy living just around the corner from the Barnsley branch.

    It’s down to VW and how they are changing their dealer setups.

    It’s left the Huddersfield Rd setup not workable.

    So no choice but to close it really.

    They had a fair few dealerships in th 70 and 80s and then I think there was a bit of controversy with clocking used cars I believe. It obviously went belly up after that I'm not certain of weather it's true but certainly seemed to go wrong rather quickly.

    Think they extended and spruced up the showroom not that long back which must have cost a bit

    Can’t tell you before they know! Even if the head office or whoever knew it’s unlikely the people in the shop did
