help with first MOT & service

[crazy6]

Could anyone recommend a good, cost effective reputable specialist near LONDON for MOT & B service of my 2 month old elise. She is in great condition ( 8000 miles only !!!! ) and I want to make sure I don't take her to some dodgy garage that just tries to flog me new parts & labour to up the bill ( call me a cynic

Anyone with advice ...good experiences would be a welcome voice....tis my first time dealing with MOT and servicing in UK & for an elise too

2 months != 8000 miles ?

In any case where in London are you. For West London try Sinclaires www.sinclairemotorsport.com/
or East London try Lakeside

(They are better with cars than websites) They are also where I take my car

Also, worth considering is Fibreglass Services if you fancy a drive down

8000 miles on a 2 month old car youve been hawking about

I got her with 8100 on the clock ( sooooo well looked after and such a find but have done over a thousand miles in my first 2 months and thats only on sunny days !!!!!! ( and there ain't been many of those ). I find myself coming home in the evening and on nice days I throw my bag in the door...grab the sunnies....rip the top down and just drive out of London for 2 hours....anywhere...aimlessly. Great way to unwind after a hard day....and great release after the tube ride home

I'd second Lakeside in Addlestone, they did my b service and mot earlier this year. Top blokes.

If you're more west london you could take a trip out to Steve Williams in Maidenhead, recommended by many people.

Fairplay to you over a thousand miles in 1.5 sunny days. Talking of the tube hear about it being stuck on it bank hol mon for 3 hrs! guess it was the cirle? they were eventually led through the tunnels at 2am.

Sinclaires are good for the MOT. They work so much with the Elise that you do not have to worry about the car being 'just checked over, mate' on open roads.

An extremeley nice touch is they valet the car for you, too.
