Be careful out there make sure you get a solid quote for the service and then make sure the garage call you before they do ANY other work.
I ended up with a £1600 bill for a 12K service and then had the front turbo hose blow off 50 miles down the road (no hose clip!!).
There was other stuff needed looking at as well!
All from a well known official Noble service centre in Surrey.

I'm toying with getting all my service work done by a local motorsport company, nice and local, keen to work on something a bit different, plus it means that I haven't got a couple of hundred mile round trip to get anything done.
What are people's thoughts on how this would affect future selling price, ( not having a so called specialists service history ).

I have all of my servicing is done at a small garage in Horsham West Sussex they have solved alot of problems caused by the previous main dealer servicing.

I suspect that OFFICIAL Noble service centers may be a thing of the past if the current rumours about the American owners are true.
I doubt they'll give a flying fig about us Brits.
I have already decided to use Plans in Dunsfold Surrey or Ex Noble london in Barnet..If I can't find the time to service it myself.
After all it is mainly Ford! not much to worry about in the serviceing dep't so long as you have the right spares

yep certain motorsport firm mentioned in this thread failed to spot perished coolant hoses on mine,

think a decent non specialist service center is the way to go, the so called "exclusive experts" have left a bit to be desired in my opinion and there is no reason why a decent motorsport company should not be able to service the car.

I use one in Northampton. Service all kinds of exotic stuff so I think they can handle the Noble. They also tell me when parts are still OK rather than replacing everything for the sake of it, and their diagnosis almost always concurs with what I suspected to be the problem.

To my mind a local motorsport garage that you trust is the way to go...blind faith in Main Dealer stamps is absurd.
