Hi guys,

Has any Maser or Ferrari owner down here used Giallo (Tonbridge, Kent) for any minor/major servicing? (independent; they feature regularly in Trident, but that's not necessarily a seal of approval)

Would be interested in knowing opinions about them. Need some stuff to be sorted on my 4200 and, quite frankly, I'm now sick of stealerships (whose work is, generally speaking, also of poor quality).

BTW and off-topic, maybe you all know by now that Aston Martin has been bought by the holding company that owns Louis Vuitton... eek

"All the bids are in and the winning bidder has been revealed: Aston Martin is being bought by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the French luxury goods consortium that produces upper-crust products ranging from leather trunks and wallets to champagne and cognac...and now exotic luxury sports cars, too.

In placing the highest bid, Louis Vuitton beat out some serious contenders, including consortia led by Aston's current boss, billionaire moguls and numerous heavy-hitting investment firms.

Ford Motor Company will reportedly retain 15% interest in Aston Martin when Louis Vuitton takes over. Although both Ford PAG and Louis Vuitton declined to comment to DowJones MarketWatch, the media outlet that broke the story, German car mag Autobild will be running the story tomorrow (Friday).

While there has been a history of fashion labels and automakers collaborating on special editions – including Aston Martin and Dunhill – the purchase of a stoic marque like Aston Martin is pioneering new ground, although Louis Vuitton does have an established history in sponsoring concours d'elegance."



Oh well, when money talks... not surprising, though (as business strategy that is). But no so sure they will be able to handle it? Not quite like making handbags biglaugh

Yep been using Giallo for my 4200 for some time, can't recommend them enough.....Matthew the owner is always helpful and friendly and he knows the 3200/4200 inside out. They have all the gear to do 4200 clutches now too, around £1300 fitted I believe. £50 per hour labour rate, half that of mean dealers.

I drive from Nottingham to Kent to have my 3200 maintained by Matthew at Giallo, hopefully that partly answers your question.
