Indy or not

[Lambo FirstBlood]

My LP640 is due for a service. I've had it from new and so far it has been serviced by main dealers every time.

I would never have normally considered an independent as I would be concerned about the future value (I don't plan on selling it any time soon) but I have recently struck up a relationship with Autofficina and they seem great and they are a lot closer to me.

Do you think it really has a detrimental impact on the value of the car?

Also any feedback on Autofficina would be greatly appreciated. They seem like good guys but always good to hear an independent view point.

Cheers,

Stick to main dealer.

Personally. Although the customer service tends to be better with main dealers. I have found the quality of the work to be very poor when you start looking closely.

Big thumbs up for Peter, Elias and Chris at Autofficina, really know there stuff and great guys too. Plenty of Murcie have been in there for various work, including a friends one at the moment. Loads of my friends cars go use them and they are very happy with them.

I have never used Autofficina but since the warranty ran out I have always used an Indy. In my case it is Emblem Sports Cars but they are near Bournemouth so not exactly close to you.

I have used Autofficina for my Diablo 6.0 and they seem good. Elias knows his stuff.

Indy for me.
Can't comment on your guys but from personal experience there is no comparision and it's cheaper too!
Would it put me off buying the car? No, not at all. Actually, personally, I think it's a plus and I would think most other enthusiasts would proably think so too. Only people that do seem to mind are the let's say "non-enthusiast" type.

Lamborghini Manchester, the end!

If the car is a keeper, well at least for the next 3yrs then Indy it, the chaps are a fine bunch just up the A3.
If you want the stamp you could always get the base min done at the dealer for the stamp then get everything else done at the Indy.

What did you decide to do LFB ??

+100

My Gallardo went to a main dealer from new, when I took it to an Indy, they told me, and backed up what they told me with evidence, that some of the service requirements were never carried out. i.e. the oil from the gear box had never been replaced in 4 years (In their opinion), causing the bolt that is undone to release the oil, to bond to the gear box. I have had all the damage repaired now, (By an Indy). But Indy all the way, they are generally smaller and their business reputation means a lot more to them. A lot of purchasers of new expensive cars seem to just trust what they are told by the main dealers, and just pick up the tab at the end, no questions asked. Nice little money spinner for some.
