Hi everyone.
Just purchase a manual gallardo. I’m based near Penzance Looking for somewhere in Devon or Cornwall to get it serviced. Google search didn’t come up with anything. Anyone know of an independent that can do this.
Nearest main dealer is 3 hours away.
Thanks In advance

Main dealer may collect and deliver. McLaren New forest do that for their customers., worth an ask.

Is it a black manual car by any chance?

Might be worth talking to Perranwell Garage. They're a classic car specialist and do some exotica. They will be honest with you about what they can and can't do.

Having said that a trip up to Bristol Lamborghini for a service provides the perfect excuse to make a weekend of it and just nip over to Wales for some great driving roads!

Yep. Black manual. Not the best example but great for the Cornish lanes.

Thanks. I forgot about perranwell. I know the newish owner now dabbles in higher end cars. You’re right about a road trip though.

No harm in asking. It’s 3 hour each way. So be surprised if they don’t charge for it.

Another thumbs-up for Ricky. He has to be one of the most experienced V10 guys in the country and extremely fastidious in his work.

No association/experience, but may be worth checking with Cummings of Bodmin?

They look after a number of classic Ferraris, had my 308 serviced for the first time this year and was very satisfied. Big saving over main dealer prices too

Third thumbs up for Rick at RE Performance. Yes, you’ll have to schlep up the M4 to Swindon, but there are chaps that travel much, much further to have their cars serviced by him. One of his regulars brings his R8 annually from France. Another has flown him out to Australia!

If you want to see what sort of work he’s capable of:

I would and did use RHtuning/ Motorcity in Plymouth when I had the R8. They have had Manual Gallardo's apart before amongst every other Lamborghini and generation of R8, Ryan has a Urus and performante currently.

I’d echo the point about pickup/drop off. Despite living in the south east Lambo Birmingham pick up/drop off my car in a covered transport for service and warranty work. You’ll have to book well ahead and it is very dealer dependent. I take it to Sytner Birmingham because they are very nice, knowledgeable people and are competitive.
