Hi all does anyone have any experience of dealing with these guys?? They are based not far from me and their prices are reasonable!! Just looking for options as I need a major service soonish. Its always been serviced at Vauxhall previously but im going to go for an independant this time!!! Thanks

Highly respected amongst the lotus community. I'd use them if I was a bit nearer.

They are just down the road from me, Lotus owning friends have been stung there but I think if you know what it is going in for and get quotes first I think you will find them cheaper than Lotus or Vauxhall. There is definately the impression round here he knows what he is doing. Geo work is sub-contracted out to another local garage, which is where I generally take mine for regular services, tyres etc.

Previous owner of mine used them and thought they where alright if a bit expensive. However IMHO anyone who recomends fitting green stuff brake pads isn't worth using.

In that case who would you reccomend using? I dont really want to travel more than 30 minutes!! There is Pure Lotus, Selby TVR, JCT Brooklands, Foulds Motors or Vauxhall in Sheffield!!

Who would you use?

Just take it to vaux. Your nearest Vx centre might be Bradford. I used them and. They were ok other than messing me around over the recall work I was having done at the same time.

The only people i trust to do a good job are RASP in Grimsby.

The difference in Labour cost will mean it's prob cheaper by the time you travel there and back compared to those you've listed.

Vaux Bradford no longer has thier VX specialist and are holding onto thier permission by GM by a very thin thread! I work with an ex-colleague of theirs and he has spent plenty of time warning me off them!
