I need to get my Chim serviced. Can anyone recommend a good independent in the South East? I'm in Kent.

Fernhurst are worth a go!

Welcome to PH by the way! I've created a list of specialists on my website: Chimaera Links if you need some other options.

I've been very pleased with the service I've got from Austec to date. They are based in Crawley.

I had a service at Austec once and they were good - slightly ropey courtesy car but it did the job! Didn't use them again only because they take too long to get to from central London.

I used Top Cats to take a look at my car before I bought it, and I was exceedingly impressed with them. I will be using them for her service when due next year.

Before I moved to London I used www.walldonway.co.uk. They always done a good job.

All of the above

I use Austec at Gatwick who I think are superb.

If youre in deepest Kent you might want to try James Motor Sport in Canterbury (Chris used to work for Walldonway)

A few of our locals have given him a try & hes building an excellent reputaion.

Theres also TVR Fix not too far away - another excellent independant.

Drop me a line if you need some phone numbers.

Just thought I'd recommend to anyone in the SE looking to get there car serviced or any bodywork done that Chris Baldock at James Motor Sports near Canterbury has just done a really good job on my Chim at a very good price. I will definitely be putting more business his way in the future.
