Help! Maserati Servicing
Discussion
Hi
Can anyone recommend a garage for servicing classic Maseratis in the South? I've got a Merak and am looking for someone a bit more accessible than Bill McGrath or Autoshield which are the only 2 that I know of. Main dealers are out of the question of course, so any help would be much appreciated!

Merak - nice - I'm a bit of a fan of those! Look forward to seeing a pic on your profile 
People to speak to would be the following for starters :
1. Talacrest in Egham (SURREY) - they would probably look at it for you and I'm fairly sure I've seen a Merak in there before.
www.talacrest.com
2. Verdis in Hayes (MIDDX) likewise do servicing for various ferrari / Maserati / Lamborghinia (and other exotica). Whether they've done a Merak recently I ahve no idea, but their mechanics are from experience decent guys.

Ultimately however BillMcGrath is the foremost authority on these cars and no doubt deals with Meraks on a far more regular basis than either of the companies mentioned above - after all you don't see may around these days! If I was you then I'd probably take the time to send it to McGraths just because I know they would be regularly servicing Meraks and have parts to hand. Sorry I can't be more help...

Not known to me personally but a fastidious close friend (ex Owner of FOC Champion of Champions concourse 308 several years running) has recently used Tim and was very impressed, not least with their sensible charges, before and after photographs of all work done and honest advice.

Thanks Guys, I'm very near to Talacrest so I'll give them a try. Major work has already been completed before at Bill McGrath (which should hopefully last a few years!!) so I'm just looking for a yearly oils/filter change & general checkover. I use it regularly which I hopes contributes to lower bills in the long term!

I'm sure that will be plenty good enough. Will keep my eyes peeled for a Merak in that area as I'm often over in the Ascot / Egham area. If you see a Maserati Rosso 3200GT with a Tubi belting across Chobham Common give me a wave!
