CastleSPORT

Just about to book my first service since buying my Griff (just approaching 48k), have a few options down here in the south east.

Frontrunner is CastleSPORT, but can't seem to find many comments in the forums. I'm aware they advertise here, so I'm just fishing for positive comments (please mail me via profile if otherwise) before I book it in. Other options are Dream Machines (for that main dealer stamp) Fernhurst or David Batty - of which I have a good deal of info. CastleSPORT are closest and most convenient...

Thanks in advance...

p.s. Main Dealer servicing for the FTVRSH - I assume that for an 7 year old Griff it is much less important provided well known independent specialists are used? Does it affect values by much?

CASTLEsport have cared for my car on a number of occasions over the last few years. They're a very friendly bunch.

Quality of servicing is the issue with a 7 year old Griff, rather than what colour the log book stamp is.

I believe it has been commented before, but many will be very happy to see a car that has had regular attention of one of the well known specialists. They tend to do things that require attention rather than sticking rigidly to a book. This means that maintenance is a better and continuous process around the needs of the car and its treatment.

I don't think it will make a jot of difference on re-sale.

Cheers guys! I'll be on the phone first thing tomorrow to book in...
