Anyone know where the best place for servicing is in or around Swindon, Wiltshire.
And what sort of price would a general service be?Obviously there maybe other work required, but just general service prices.Would i see change from £500?

I have used David Hendry 5 times, nearly used the new Cheltenham guys, but miss so much the original Cheltenham, Broughtons. A tad more expensive, but when you got it back, there was a difference, not just like driving in, driving out and just handing £500 over. Peninsula pick up i believe ? If you want a good "all rounder" there is a guy in Oaksey, called just plain "the garage".

I can recommend Peninsula (as can a few other pistonheaders). I most certainly will not take our car to our local dealer (we were treated quite badly by the owner).

Andy at APM or Austec Racing come highly recommended.

Now THATS interesting!

David, do you have any other details? This would be perfect for me (Melksham).

Like others, I have no confidence in my 'local' dealer and have been taking my Chim to Webbs in Nailsea - the only trouble with that is getting down there!

There is also a place in Bristol (can't rememeber the name - Lotus garage I think) but their hourly rates are unbelievable!

Cheers

I used to live in Oaksey and when my last Griff lost most oil pressure, over the phone he diagnosed oil pick up pipe fracture.He worked on my 390 several times and also worked on my Rangie many times. Must be in the phone book, not likely to be on the web !! I will take a look.

Another vote for Peninsula from me (I live in Chippenam and wouldn't let the local place touch my mower, let alone the Tiv.).
