Thinking of using these guys for my routine R8 servicing, anyone got an good/bad feedback on them?

If they are anything like Drive A----shot where I got mine.........I wouldn't touch with a bargepole........but they may be better....

From Bristol I go to Walkinshaw performance, takes 2.5 hours round trip. They will service while you wait, and gave me full internet access and tea/coffee whilst I waited.

This is probably a good opportunity to say how impressed I have been with Walkinshaw Performance, everything I've done with them has been first class, and beyond fault. I can't compare with Monkfish but given Walkinshaw's faultless service difficult to see what I am missing.

I've had Drive Bristol service mine once, when I couldn't get up to the 'fish, they were fine. Also when I was in there getting a quote on a new door the other day they had a few Monaro's and VXR8s in - the guy said they do get a few Monaro's through - and they seem quite familiar with the cars.

I think the advantage with Monkfish is that they really do know the cars inside out and if they find anything amiss have the bits on the shelf to fix on the spot. I guess the same is probably true for Walkinshaws.

Ignoring my early complex history with them, I have found their servicing reasonable.

A few niggles like thumbing through my owners book with dirty hands and forgetting to change the air filter.

naming and shaming comes in to play, if you are close to Bristol you might as well go to those lovely guys at Walkinshaw Performance over the cotswolds. Lovely drive, cheap as chips and better at these cars than some spanner
