Lancastor Sevenoaks for servicing?

[gibbon]

Any experience of these guys? Or other suggestions?

I require the first service (to me) on a V8 Vantage. I live in central East London, Lancastor Sevenoaks seem quite competitive for main dealers.

I did a search and found very little.

Many thanks

Sevenoaks is pretty much the same as others overpriced and not overly good.Although I have had my concerns dealt with it still is a hassle to get to a solution.

Hmmm, not great. The car is under and Aston warranty, so i was thinking it wise to keep the service at a main dealers for any extra work etc...?

Lancasters Sevenoaks and bargepole are often used in the same sentence.

I can vouch for Lancaster Cambridge @ Harston and probably just as easy to get for you - up M11 to junction 11 turn left couple of miles on RHS

Their workshops are not at their showroom premises, but at a location that also deals with McLarens and Bentleys. The car park is a delight.

I have only used them for an MoT, and was surprised to find that they simply drive the car to another garage, near to their showroom. I could have gone directly there myself.

Hmmm, not ideal then.

Grange Brentwood any better? HWM?

And presumably you pay £50 for the MOT and £130 for an hour of labour whilst the Wilmslow guy sits there and has a cup of tea and the MOT garage does all the work ?

I've just been quoted 54.85 for an MOT.

There must be somewhere nearer than Tony V12V's

No labour charge, think it was 60ish for the mot to be done at same time as service

Been very happy with the service work down on my V8 Vantage at Grange, Brentwood. "Brian" came and picked the car up too. Recommended.

Lancaster Cambridge are excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Any one used Hagley?
