New cerb owner - where to get servicing up north?

[Pete B]

Hi, just bought myself a cerb, 97 4.2 in blue pearl, picking it up on Wednesday (can't wait for the drive home). Looking to get it booked straight in for a service etc.
Now that joospeed aren't servicing, where do you recommend in the yorkshire area, I've shortlisted HL Gorner in Wigan or richard Thorpe racing in Sheffield.
Anyone got any recomendations on either of the above or elsewhere. Cheers........

Ian in Middlewich, Middlewich MOT Centre

Cheaper than a dealer, and much more knowledgeable. Ex Chris-Neill mechanic.

Shane at SFR Engineering Stockport 0161 480 0101 ,he's worked on my Chim, and a friends Tuscan Race car,always lots of Cerbs there.

Shane at SFR seconded......he used to work at the factory, on Tuscan racers and the Cerbs in their infancy.......and he doesn't take the p155 !

Ian in Middlewich will look after you AND your car. The pricing is spot-on. Service is Superb, and he's a real enthusiast.

Another vote for Ian. I've yet to hear anything bad about the bloke, in fact I only ever hear total praise for him and his work and his attitude. If you're anywhere near the north west he stands head and shoulders above anyone else in the area.

If you want to PM me for a list of who you can trust to do good work, and who you can trust to fleece you right left and centre please contact me through my profile.

If its dealer service then dont forget your Yorkshire Dealer at Harrogate
The sales dept used to leave something to be desired but service has and still is getting praise

If non franchised then elsewhere!

Cheers for all your suggestions, looks like Ian in middlewich may be getting a call' .
I picked the cerb up on wednesday, had an amazing drive home, all 230 miles of it, M23, M25, Dartford tunnel, (nearly went back round, just for another listen to that noise!) M11, A1 & M62, no problems and I can certainly say I'm hooked!
It was far better than the journey down on the train & probably faster at times'

Does he still use Joospeed cars to advertise his business?

Oh how i laughed, big compliment to Joospeed at the time though.

NO NAMING AND SHAMING POLICY!
A hint speaks a million words but a direct-hit is not fair. Lets keep it clean chaps!

Just a quick note to let you know the cerb went for it's service yesterday, I was recomended to go to

name said:

Ian @ middlewich

and i'm now passing on that recomendation,

a top bloke,
knows his stuff,
tells you as it is,
excellent value for money,
he also has a nice shiney garage floor!

Advice- take a sleeping bag, it was 3'clock in the morning when I left there this morning, there's not that many mechanics that'll be still setting your car up on the laptop at 2am thats for sure. Dedication!
