Good local specialist in Kent

[maxwellwd]

Hi all, I am about to pick up a really nice R56 next week (2007 model) has had all of the preventative work done. Want to know what good indies there are in Kent? Also what is the best engine oil to use to top up and for oil changes?

Anyone able to recommend anyone?

Always used Crago’s in Dartford for my BMW’s (BMW/Bini specialist).

They’re good so can get booked up some way in advance. If your in North Kent (Orpington/Bromley way) I can also recommend a good mobile mechanic, does all the work on daily cars and non-specialist jobs on my lotus - Ex BMW mastertech now working for himself with the benefit of not having to leave Home.

Kevin Palmer at Palmer Works S might be worth a try. Knows his stuff. In Mereworth, near Maidstone.
