I was impressed by a recent service from Austec - you get a free Rolling road session too - though beware, it can be the 'catalyst'( ) to spending a shit load of money to get more power (cue podie!)

I'd go with David Batty or Austec.

Both have worked on my car, and I've been happy with the results.

Austec or Mike Sweeney at Magic Castle. Both have worked on my car and no worries with either

Give LEEBEE a shout, he did a full sevice on my s3
and a few other jobs. He has worked on lots of other s's and his knowledge of tvr's is spot on
He is in Oxford so not to far away.

Muskrat...

It depends what you want out of a service...

David Batty is probably one on the most experiance and knowledgable service providers there is...

If thats what you are looking 4 then go 4 it...

If you want somewhere that has probably the best facilities in the S/East for car servicing and rolling road assessment the choose Austec...

I've been to both, And I have no preference over either....

They have both done exactly what I expected....And hoped for...

All this IMHO

From that list there, I'd recommend Andy at APM, but don't tell every one though. I've used him in the past and would use him again, no hesitation in recommending him strongly.

I'm currently using Austec, equally as good, as the use of their rolling road has been necessary. I think my car has spent more time on that than it has in the service bay come to think of it

Harry...

From what I saw your car was using more of the forecourt than the R/R when I was there....

Sorry mate

AH no need to apologise, thats when I left it and went on Holiday . Unfortuneately off on business next week and dropping it off tomorrow for a couple more (out the front).
No wonder I don't bother cleaning it at the mo (Don't tell Pies though ). Hopefully this shall be the last time this year .
