Sportmotive - Any Good ?
Discussion
Seconded. They are exellent, i live just down the road from them & cant fault them at all. Esprit Engineering in Downton are also good. www.espritengineering.co.uk

another vote for them - took my lotus there a couple of months ago for its B service, and they were very helpful - the car had been serviced there prior to me buying it, and they told me lots about the previous owners as well.
If you take the back road from Verwood instead of the A338 - its a much more fun drive as well

Also a thumbs up for me - will report back after the weekend as mine is going in on Friday for a couple of bits:
- complete refusal to select reverse now without making a horrific noise, plus 2nd is getting worse.
- S2 Blisten upgrade.
Going to be an expensive but hopefully worthwile visit.

As boobles says. I have used Cos at Sportomotive and Geoff at EE and both are informative and reliable. FWIW Geoff's labour charges are somewhat cheaper, so it might be worth asking for a quote in advance.Edited by boobles on Monday 29th October 11:17
BB,
It's where I've been getting mine serviced for the last few years
Sensible servicing and a sensible price 
Unlike Leftovers, won't replace stuff just because the service sheet advises an inspection 
If you're smart you could drive your car to Cos' house near Christchurch and get him to lend you the spiffing rover 200 courtesy car
It makes you appreciate your car sooo much more when you get it back 
That's what I did last time

that bloody rover.......
last time I went in, I had asked for a courtesy car for the day - he gives me the keys and says 'thats the fancy one with central locking'
I walk outside, and there is a lovely 111r parked outside - I point and click hoping that it flashes, and the bloody rover does instead.....
that thing must get an absolute hammering from people driving it

OK, so overall, pretty impressed. Was ready at the pre-arranged time. Service was all done from what I can tell pretty well too.
For those that can remember a previous post of mine, the brakes seem better too. Not as good as I want them, but a damn sight better than they were. Turns out that a Brake Fluid change is part of the "B-Service" that the car was in there for. Only thing left now are the Pagid 42's.
Also the existing Pads are close to being worn, but will last until the next service, so that was good of them to notice, mention, but also leave.
Does anyone know if the clams need to come off for Braided hoses to be fitted on a S2 ?
