A big thanks to Matt and Dave @ Jetstream who have looked after my car brilliantly over the last couple of weeks whilst it was in for it's annual service, MOT and a front end re-spray.

Attention to detail and workmanship was superb. They sorted out small details that I had overlooked to bring the car up to A1 condition (refurbed and re-sprayed my front splitter, re-sprayed the spoiler wing ends, even down to replacing small clips that weren't seated correctly on the rear clam).

I collected on Saturday and even though they were extremely busy, picked me up, made me feel very welcome, talked through my car and the marque in general and gave some very interesting insights into developments and upgrades.

Dave wasn't 100% happy with the aircon electrics when we fired up the car and spent time sorting it to his satisfaction before I left to drive home.

It was good to have time to look at other cars in as well to see what upgrades and modifications had been done. The new exhaust system that the guys have developed is the dogs danglies. Currently fitted to another customers black 3R and gives the deep, loud and aggressive sound I'm after (especially since coming from a TVR T350). Adjustable aircraft spec fitments, custom baffling and custom tailpipes available, it makes the Rousch look like a basic off the shelf solution! To top it off, its much cheaper than the Rousch (nearly had a heart attack when I realised the Rousch system was £2K+! My JP exhaust on the T350 was £600) - the Jetstream system definately next on my list once the pennies have been saved up again. I believe they are now ready to go.....

A bit of a ramble I know! But as a new Noble owner and my first time up at Jetstream, the level of workmanship, detail, customer service and knowledge is rare to find nowadays,was thoroughly refreshing and deserves a decent mention. My car will be going nowhere else.

To top it off, the sun was out and I had a great 3 hour drive home!

Matt and Dave, cheers. beer

I was there at the weekend dropping off my M400, you may have spotted it with the engine in a thousand pieces, lol.

When I was there I saw your car I think, was it the red one? Paintjob on the front end looked great and it's such a nice colour!

From what I've seen so far I'm also not going to bother taking my car anywhere else again, even if it means a 450 mile drive, I now have confidence that the car will run fine once they have finished with it.

Hi Graham, yes mine was the Monza Red 3R parked inside. Paintjob was A1 - no more stonechips and looks brand new!

Saw your M400 and had a good look around, very nice - lots of clever carbon fibre mods and the compmotives look fantastic. Also first time I have seen the smaller wing mirrors and LED rear lights in the flesh rather than in a picture.

Hope yours is back up and running soon, I know you had a long trip down. It will be sweet as a nut once they've finished with it; you've got a serious machine there!

Jetstream have a win/win thing going on with paint. The skill to put it on nicely, and a runway to take it off nicely hehe

In June I dropped my car off at Jetstream , for it's annual service and a few bits and bobs and Matt kindly gave me a tour of Bruntingthorpe in his off roader , really impressive place , and then a lift to the silverstone meet . When car was ready I was picked up at the station by Dave . Then went back a few weeks later as Dave got my front dampers fully refurbished by blistein .

Excellent service and attention to detail, nice guys and plenty of chocolate biscuits while I was waiting .

Unfortunately I haven't had a reply to a mail as part of correspondence I sent over a month ago. I will be trying again at some point because their good reputation seems to be growing by the day.

Been to Jetstream this afternoon, I love them guys nothing is too much trouble.

Very hard working patient Gentlemen.

No Chocolate Digestive biscuits, but we did get fish and chips (Yum Yum).

O, and they made a great job of my suspension set-up and corner weighting.

Thanks Guys.

Matt is around but has been on holiday. The guys are immensely busy, something I didn't realise until I visited yesterday. They have a new building further down the airfield which is still being fully populated and there many modifications and building works still to be done. Couldn’t believe the amount of Nobles they have in either, 15 ish!! Fantastic setup only to get better! The attention to detail that I gleaned from their look around my car was second to one, it explained an awful about some of my cosmetic niggles, brilliant.
Martin (Trimman) has also moved into a dwelling on the airfield so hopefully trim quotes maybe slightly cheaper now also. (But don't quote me!)
All I would say is be patient and keep emailing as I’m sure one of them will reply eventually.

A big thanks from me to Matt and Dave - not just for fitting the TDS and doing a service, but mainly for letting me "assist" and ask multitudes of utterly stupid questions showing my complete lack of mechanical knowledge in all its glory !

They say you get great customer service taking a Bentley or fezza in for a service, but on arrival at Jetstream I was greeted with a bacon roll, and then fish and chips at lunchtime. Bloody marvellous !!

Good to meet up with Sean, Simon and Mike as well.

Good to bump into Grant in chelmsford on his way for a curry with the nurburg/spa guys, hopefully hook up for the trip to silverstone on 30th.

The biscuit situation is still bleak with Matt's excuse Dave ate em all, even though Matt tried softening me up with a fish n chips compensation package smile

It was a plaesure spending the afternoon with the 2 Mike's & rest of the lads there.

The Curry's later in Chelmsford with Steve, Grant n Matty was sublime.

Thanks lads for sorting my pads.
