Recently bought 350c, soon needing 24k service.
Whom do people trust in the norf?
I notice some main dealers' labour rates are ... high, are they always worth it?
I've come from 6 years with a Lotus using really, REALLY, excelllent specialists, what's the score in tvr-world?

Harrogate HC (now Drivestyle) are excellent, trustworthy and not hideously expensive. Just up the road as well! There is a indie in Doncaster but I've no idea how good they are.

So, 4:1 against Drivestyle (thanks for email Daftlad). Any experiences of Sports and Specialist Car Co @ Boroughbridge?

I'm interested in this thread.
My t350 is due 12000 mile service soon. I got it from Harrogate HC and had 6000 mile service from them. Should I go elsewhwre for the next one?
I was planning to keep car for another 12 months but what with TVR going tits up and the fact that it is such a good car I thnk I will keep it for ever, so I want it done right and don't mind travelling.
Any advice gratefully received.
John

TorqueRVT in Middlewich, Cheshire has been recommended to me several times, but I have yet to go there myself (only done 1000 miles since purchase)

Please don't take this as a negative posting - I have no problems at all with John and the gang at SSCC.

In my experience Harrogate have been FAR better than Hexam.

My vote goes with Hexham HC, great set of guy's. Sometimes paying a little extra is worth it.
