Drawing concensus from the PH masses. I used to deal with Paddy at Hatfield but he has now moved on to pastures new. Mate of mine is looking to get in to a new Turbo S and would like to know which OPC in the relative London area has a good rep.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ben.

I have bought 3 cars from Silverstone. Always found them to be
very good. Not London area, I know, but if you stay off the motorways
it could be a nice drive back!

To be honest, you rarely hear about a poor buying experience at any OPC, it's just the after sales care that raises its ugly head! OPC West London are one of the biggest culprits, if my car broke down outside their door I'd get it transported elsewhere! smile

My interactions with Tonbridge have so far been very good - haven't bought from them, but used their parts department and asked advice - always happy to spend time talking. Couple of quotes have been expensive though (e.g. oil change £380) - but main dealers for all makes are pricey.

As long as the figures can be worked out, I would go there by default if I were in the market.

Swindon or Bristol – same group but probably Swindon as I've had more dealings with them (Simon Gough in parts) and have always been impressed with their enthusiasm for an old car which wasn't supplied or even been serviced by them.

I'd buy from Stephen Dennis again at Tonbridge. The sales & after-sales is excellent at that OPC.

David Fokes, Reading OPC.

Great personal service made buying the car a lot of fun and made sure i got the best advice and judgement on a specification that really worked together.
