Can anyone recommend a caterham garage in Midlands?

[Glenn T]

Hi all

I've just took ownership of my first caterham (loving it - wish I'd have done it sooner!), can anyone recommend a good garage in the Midlands (Leicestershire) area? I've got MOT coming up in soon and I may as well take it somewhere I'll likely return for servicing & maintenance.

I know there is the main Caterham dealership just off the M69, but previous experiences owning BMW and Porsche is that there is better value to be had from independent specialists once you're out of main warranty period, is that owner's experience also or do Caterham charge reasonably (and without gilding the Lily!)?

Thanks

Glenn

There are specialist 7 workshops out there personally I would not take a 7 to a generic garage your car would be an item of great interest but little working knowledge of the car. I have always found Caterham reasonable and its not a Porsche or BMW type pricing model.

Another vote for Nick, but there's not a lot wrong with Caterham Midlands, and at least you get to browse some other cars whilst there.

I bought a 2nd hand Caterham in January this year and asked a similar question on the Caterham & Lotus 7 facebook page, the two garages recommended were McMillan Motorsport and Nick Potter. I took mine to Nick as he seemed to really know what he was talking about and the price was good too. I'll definitely be going back again next year.

Just a thought you may also want to compare against Caterham midlands don't run away with the idea they will charge porsche prices

I contacted Caterham to get a quote, I'm still waiting for the call back they said they'd give me...
