Hi,
New to the forum. I have a 2004MY C4S done 18k thats due its second service. It is just out of the 2yr manufacturers warranty but still has OPC warranty on it until Dec 07.
Any recommendations as to whether I should stick with OPC or go to an independant? I've spoken to Martin at Zentrum in Notts as this would be my nearest. He was really helpful and knew his stuff. I'm just a bit weary purely because of warranty issues. I'm confident that an indy could do as good a job if not better and look after the car.
Any comments greatly appreciated and feedback on Zentrum if anyone has used them.

Thanks

as long as the Indy uses genuine Pork parts the warranty will be unaffected

IMO save some cash, drink tea in a chipped mug and chat to the guy who services your car

I guess it's each to their own but I'd be thinking OPC for the service (literally just the minimum to get the stamp) and independant for anything else.

Can't help but think you'll lose more at resale than you'll save, especially if part-ex'ing at an OPC.
