Local dealers?

[Dogbash]

Hi everyone, I live on the east coast of England near Norwich. I am considering a McLaren at the moment but from what I can make out there are only 5 dealers and the nearest one to me is in London.

First of all, is this correct? And secondly I assume there are no other service centres so I would need to take the car to London once a year for a service?

Thanks

Birmingham probably your better option.

London sales only and nothing to see / London / Ascot are linked.

Yes currently your only option is main dealer yearly but most will collect car on covered trailer.

Birmingham is by far your best option. If you buy from them they will trailer you car there and back FoC for servicing and warranty work. McBrum have a much better reputation that McAscot/London when it comes to servicing.

I am surprised they do this as it must cost them a fair bit to collect and drop off the car? Good service though.

What do people make of Manchester McLaren? Both sales and service side?
I took a look on Google maps and the facility does not exactly look cutting edge, and could not see where the servicing would be done.

Thanks

McManchester is part of the Bentley Manchester group who have a joint workshop about 5 miles up the road from where the McLaren show room is located. If you google Bentley Manchester you will see their showroom/workshop.
