We're a little late, as our cerbera needs a service. it's august and we've only taken her out 3 - 4 times at the most due to work commitments . . . frown

But anyway, What I really need to know - what is the general consensus on the best place to go for a service. As we havn't done many miles, as you can guess from the above. We will only be having a 6k service. I have been to TVR-Power and Offord in the past, and they have done a respectable job on the car; But I really want to know if there is a 'best' place to go to.

As to what defines the best place to service your cerbera, it is pretty open to discussion and debate. So I will stop talking and wait to hear what you have got to say.

I look forward to your suggestions, thoughts and ideas!

Also - I've noticed that there are only 2 Cerberas on the list for the RollsRoyce SS on Aug 22, It would be good to see more of you there smile

Had a car done at APM and very good, also one done at SRT8SIX and every bit as good, can give free courtesy car which helps, Like Andy at APM Jason at STR8SIX is ex factory engine specialist.

Andy isnt ex factory afaik. He is ex TVR main dealers BUT he is also tuscan racer engineer from the race series and was also head hunted by TVR factory a few times. He was the first indie to be established with lengthy cerb expertise. As a result he gained a following and further developed his skills and experience with the AJP and cerb. Later moving into rebuilding the engines.

Everybody has their own opinion.
I had my Cerb serviced by Jason at STR8SIX recently (6k service). He did a great job- he is very thorough. Price wise, he was very competitive. It's not a million miles away from you so might be worth a shout.
His reputation is very good and I know he is always busy so an early phone call would be advised if you need the service doing fairly promptly.

Personally I can't be arsed to drive 200 miles to get my car serviced. So I would look at those closest to you first. I have been in and around here for a little while and would recommend based on my experience and that of fellow owners apm, raceproved, str8six, Taylor tvr and track v road. Am sure there are others and that some would disagree...

North - Raceproved

South - APM

I hadnt realised Str8six did servicing and dont know where they are based - however they have managed to cure a friends T350 engine woes for good, he rates them highly.

You'll get loads of differing responses on here, most of which will all be very good recomendations but dependant upon where you are in the country.
Personally I use Sebring who are based on the Norfolk/Cambs border and I know plenty of others who will always swear by them.
Out of the 2 you mention - 1 of them I've heard loads of good things about, the other I live 5 miles away from yet choose to do a 90 mile round trip to use Sebring instead which should give you a tester of what I think of them.
