Picked my Sagaris up from Automedon on Saturday morning, what brilliant service!!!!! I had a 12000 mile service carried out and drove home in a car that felt better than when I got it from new. Dave and Colin really do go the "Extra Mile." I no longer have any squeaks or rattles, the shut lines are all spot on (main bonnet, service bonnet and both doors)and all of my oil pipes are now routed without rubbing or chafing. As per usual with these guys, the brake calipers were re-painted, all exposed nuts and bolts were cleaned and re-covered with grease and the car fully valeted inside and out, including the leather being cleaned and re-vitalised.

I also had the usual leaky standard radiator replaced with one of the Automedon commissioned items. Seeing the two side by side makes you wonder how the origional items were ever allowed to be fitted!!!! We should all be thankful that Guys like these are prepared to put the time, effort and money into the ongoing development that will keep our cars on the road for years to come. There are numerous other items that they are working on that will no doubt help us all in the future.

Whilst the car was in for its service I decided to bite the bullet and have my Diff ratio altered to 3.91. This has to be the best improvement I have had done to any car I have owned, anyone from a biking background that has dropped a tooth off the front and gone up two at the back will know how it feels!!!!

We all have our favourite service places of course, but to anyone who wants a change or has a nagging doubt about their existing provider, get yourself over to Automedon, have a brew with Dave and Colin, and be amazed at their wealth of knowledge and massive enthusiasm.

I was impressed with their service on my Cerby, couldnt fault them in knowledge, politeness, speed, value for money, advice etec.

Are they equally as good with the speed six engined cars? It seems TVR power get some extremely good press on speed six to the point they seem to be 'the' place to go - be nice to have a reliable alternative.

Sidecar - this is nice to hear.

I see you're based in Notts. Did you drive up there and leave the car, or use their collection/delivery service? If the latter, what is the cost (I know, I could pick up the phone...). I'm a long way darn sarth, otherwise I'd give them a go...

Hi Targa,

I had use of their courtesy car on this occasion. If your car is there for just one night and one day, Dave and Colin have a friend in the hotel trade in Blackpool and can often arrange a discounted stayover if you would like. If I was based in Cornwall, I would still make the trip to them, they really are that good!!!!!!

Hi Robertjp,

I feel that Automedon have all the knowledge and skill to work with all of the engine variants. Their time at the factory has equiped them with the intuition to deal with every type of problem. I wouldn't make comparisons with other parties directly, suffice to say that my car won't be going anywhere else, and it feels like new everytime it has been there.

Glad to hear it. Good service is expected anywhere, but rarely delivered everywhere
