My LP640 is 11 years old.

Always been serviced by main dealer - usually Birmingham. Used London twice, but both terrible experiences and would never use again.

Thinking about giving Pangbourne a try or moving to an Indy. I’ve heard very good things about SB race Engineering.

Anyone got any experience of either of the above?

I’m probably going to keep the car forever so is it really worth paying over double to use a main dealer? Also, in the past, I think Indy’s just do a better job.

Does it really make an difference to residuals?

I use Pangbourne for all four scissor door cars.
Dave is excellent.

(And I don’t care about residuals, as I keep my cars.)

I too had a stupid experience with London years ago with my Diablo.
They wanted to charge me something silly for something very small.
I asked them if they really wanted to do that?
They said yes.
I paid. And that was the last time I went there.
They still ring and write………..

I must spend too much time watching racing.
I was expecting this thread to be about emigrating to Indianapolis...

Might be too far for you but I used Zack at Synergy Supercars for a Diablo, independent, fair prices and thorough capable work.

I have settled into alternating. Pangbourne for main, Indy for interim.

This works really, really well. David Jennings at Pangbourne is excellent - but being a dealer, some solutions are naturally a lot more expensive. For the Indy service I use Ed Blasi at AV Engineering (ex-Lamborghini, ex-Ferrari, ex-everything) as I like and trust him, or Mark Hosken at Backdraft Motorsport (very reasonable and very knowledgeable bloke). There are others, Mike Pullen, Roberto Grimaldi etc.

This means you get the best of both worlds with a more manageable cost profile.

I bought my LP640 from BHP back in 2014 when they also did sales and, despite being in Scotland, have taken it to them every year since for servicing and they have been nothing short of brilliant.
