No specialists that i know of, since May Hill garage ceased trading.
I think a lot of people use roteknics (sp?) - obviously they specialise in RX's but know their Mazda's and get a lot of MX5's coming in

I’d seen rotechniks mentioned when searching but it looks like they aren’t trading anymore?

On Google business it says they're currently open, although their website domain no longer exists. Have you tried calling them?

They went quite a while ago. They were quite expensive anyway. I think they charged RX7 rates...
I don’t know of an MX5 specialist but there aren’t many jobs that actually need one.
What model do you have and what needs doing?

It’s a mk1 1.6 turbo. It doesn’t really need much at the moment. I’m just trying to find someone local ish to trust with it.

Didn't know that. I used to use them when I worked nearby. What a shame,

You could give AC Mechanical a go. I've been using them for the past 10yrs (man I'm getting old!) for servicing/repairs/MOT following a recommendation on here. The guys that run it are into modified Jap cars.

I think the MOT guy had an RX7 20yrs ago. Expect he still does. There's some quite retro photos in the waiting room that looks like a Jap owners club line up outside the garage.

Andy who runs the servicing side has always been sound.

There's often some interesting Jap metal there, and I know Andy helped run a car at Silverstone Classic a few years ago.

I used TGM in Fleet for my S2000 and they were very good. They mainly specialised in Honda's but it may be worth phoning them and asking. They were very good.

Has anyone used the garage at Littlewick Green on the A4, they say they are an authorised Mazda service centre? Does that mean main dealer prices or something between main dealer and an indie?

Just means they're the same as a Mazda Main dealer but don't sell cars.
They're quite expensive (from the last time I needed something) - went to Basingstoke instead.
