new in town and need advice please..

[joe666]

Hi all

Just moved myself and my 2002 lava orange S2 down from Scotland and need a bit of advice on local garages..

I'm living near Dorchester but happy to drive her anywhere recommended if it means better service! I'm looking for the following:

a) A good local garage to carry out smaller jobs like new brake pads, minor services etc
b) Good tyre fitter who won't scratch my black wheels
c) The best Main dealer for the major services.

Thanks in advance for any help it's much appreciated.

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Hi Joe

Unfortunately I'm in the South-East (also because we have a bloomin drought order...ggrrrrr) so I can't answer about the garage, but just here to say welcome

Someone will be along soon to answer though I'm sure

Hi Joe
As far as I know the main dealer for the area is Westover Sports Cars Poole. There may be good places to get a service nearer to Dorchester but I don't Know. Most of the BOLOC people have good things to say about Westovers, but there is Sportomotive in Salisbury which many Lotus owners recomend.

Hi Joe,

I work in Dorchester and an a regular BOLOC (ok hold off on the punns!!). If you are looking then I can not recomend enough the boys and girls at Westovers. Ok I know going through a main dealer is a bit more expensive, but the aftersale support is second to none and is dealt with on a very personal level by knowlageable and enthusiastic people.

For example, today i pooped into the service centre as my indicators were not working, No appointment, Within 10 mins the car was in the workshop being sorted, an hour and a new relay later she was as good as new and i was on my way, Cheers boys!!!! On top of that i always pop in and see what being done and its never a problem, all the work is explianed and i get to find out a bit more about my car.


If you want a chat mail me through my profile and pop in have a chat.Oh and I live in Bournemouth!!!

Thanks for the tips, the www.southrun.co.uk/dealers.php site is a great idea for user feedback.

Still looking for a good tyre fitter who knows jacking points etc if anyone knows one?

Thanks

For tyres I use pro tyre in poole, came recomended through Westovers,i think most of the Bolocs use the same.
