Would using a specialist downgrade the service history? Dont most people want full lotus service history when I come to selling it on?

If not then do youk no of any specialist service centres around Leeds?

Provided you can get a proper lotus specialist it will not do you any harm at all. It is considered by most that the specialists are better at it than the dealers

I agree. There are lots of specialists all over the country all held in higer regard than the main stealer. Sorry dealer.

I travel from Liverpool to Birmingham and use Horizon Motorsport.

A service £100
B service £190
C service £350
Geo £75
Labour £35 per hour.

Excellent rates from an excellent company.

when tradng in my old elise, the independent servicing was not a problem , as the sales guy knew the particular company was reputable.

often you will find that independents seem to do a more thorough job anyway

i have never used them but have read alot of good things about horizon. fact that they are also cheap is a bonus

As Paul says (all the way from Malia), drop me an email and I'm sure we can sort something out. Its a bit of a drive but its worth it to get the job done right at a very reasonable cost.

We are two minutes from the Metrocentre so bring your other half and make a day of it.

JCT 600 on the Leeds ring road is the official Lotus Dealer.

Only problems being that :

a). As I only had an Elise S1, staff look down there noses at you.

b). Dont sit next to someone in the waiting area who is younger than you & signing up for a 360 Spider (JCT also has the Ferrari, Maserati & Porsche franchises at the same site).

c). Labour rate had me thinking I was seeking legal advice from lead Counsel.

Would agree with the other posters though, unreasonable to expect an Elise out of warranty to be serviced by a Main Dealer. Go for the one in Huddersfield as previously mentioned.
