Should get my Chimaera serviced soon but a bit bored with the snobby attitude of my 'blue chip' garage who would prefer that I had a £100k + vehicle.

So, who is friendly/convenient/reliable in or near SE London?
Cheers,
Crouchy

Try Mark & Dave at Tower View Race Services on the M1.
Not SE but NW London. Great guys, courtesy car provided. Tel: 0208 452 6922. May find its worth the trip.
I live in Herts and travelled to Surrey to get my tiv serviced by David Batty. Depends how far you're willing to travel.

Have you tried Walldonway, I used them (last week) for the 12000 mile service on my S3.

While you will pay the higher price for main dealer servicing, the service is top notch.

Had the 12000 miler, cost is usually around 450+VAT, although I had a few other bit sorted too

I like Tivhead live in Herts and have just taken my Griff to David Batty of Guildford this morning for a 42K service
Friendly/convenient/relable-but very busy, and in SW london.
There was about 6 Chim's there this morning awaiting the velvet touch.

Thanks for all the ideas - Tower View in NW London looks the most convenient at the moment.
Nothing closer of quality?
Cheers,

I also use Walldonway in Larkfield near Maidstone and very happy and in fact they will be in attendance at our meet on Mon 28April, so you could come along and meet them. See TVR general gassing, there are 2 threads about SELondon NWKent meet. If you want more details, email me.

Another vote for David Batty, the only problem he is so busy you need to book a month in advance.
