Noble Servicing - Dorset / New Forest?

[Dave2P]

Anyone got any recommendations for Noble-friendly servicing (annual service - nothing massive) near the Dorset / Hampshire border (Christchurch / Bournemouth / Poole)?

We seem to have moved to a point about equidistant (and bloody miles away) from Skip, Jetstream and SWLC!

Any local recommendations or is my best bet going to be a road trip???

TIA, Dave

I lived in the area of many years. There are no specialists who do Noble from my knowledge. There is CPR in Blandford, good tuning company but not Noble specialists. Personally I would send it to Bespoke or Mole. Bespoke have a collection service too.

Ah, didn't realise Bespoke did a collection service - thanks!

Aha! Good shout Martin - I'm due a trip to Thruxton anyway so will give them a call. For some reason I thought Ray West was, er, way down West somewhere... cheers!

Agree with Chris - don't go to Mole. Would rather eat some very aggressive wasps than go near that place again!

i would go to mole , they have always done a really good job for me ,never had a problem , warren who works on the nobles really knows his stuff, take it there , bit fed up with the bad reports about them on here

They do seem justified though. Maybe for just servicing they are fine as let's face it. Servicing isn't rocket science.

It's not necessarily Warren's skills coming under question, its more how the place is run, feeling ripped off and general levels of service and competence. Which have been dire for several people.

Exactly. As I posted, nothing wrong with the mechanics side in my experience.

If people on here had good service and were treated with a bit of respect im sure a lot of the comments would be positive.Way too arrogant for me communication was rubbish and my honest opinion is that they are too up there own a***s.As I said before Warren seems a nice guy but at the end of the day my car went in there a runner(they told me it was never running when it got to them).I had to tell them about the dodgy connections to fuse for ecu(it looked pretty suss as the connectors and fuse had black tape around then) which was the reason the could not get it started.

To be honest there the experts not me im no mechanic they should have checked these things as they said there was no reading coming out of ecu when hooked up to laptop.Anyway 3 weeks was just too long to have my car and to have to pay money for a car that was in a worse state than when it arrived and then to have to pay over £300 to get it recovered to Jetstream I think my dissaproval is justified.

No disrespect to the mechanic, but if he has the car to find the fault, and still can't find it after 3 weeks, I'd be asking if he is really capable of working on nobles and just stick to basis mechanics and just work on tvrs.
