We always seem to get posts here with complaints regarding main dealers/indies etc not doing a great job on these cars.

So here's one to change the tide a little, credit where credits due. Paul Coster is the man behind this operation and going on a recommendation from a friend I sent my 360 in for a service with him.

It was a real eye opener in terms of what service actually is, car was picked up from me at my convenience (late on a sunday evening) and we talked over what else may need doing apart from a regular service.

This was followed by text updates throughout the week including MMS messages with pics outlining progress/issues. This is what its meant to be like! Not me chasing the dealer to see if the car is ready/on schedule!

To say he goes above and beyond the call of duty is an understatement, he noticed the usual scuffs on the undertray so decided to repaint the whole thing. Rear challenge grill had faded somewhat so was also resprayed, all at a VERY reasonable price.

Car was returned to my door step at my convenience having been fully clay barred and polished. A disc was also provided containing lots of pictures at the various stages of the service.

It felt like new, much more sprightly, tight and in fine form.

I don't have any affiliation with this company, but was genuinely blown away by the service provided and how little the bill was (PM me if you want a full breakdown, I don't think its right to put it up here).

Obviously no one is perfect, and neither is Paul - he returned the car wearing a Lambo jacket rolleyes

Might not be perfect but he certainly has a good sense of humour, not to mention good taste. thumbup

Glad to see standards and values are still alive and kicking somewhere in this country.

Yes will you all be quiet please - I want Paul to have time to take mine completely apart this winter and do a major belt service, clean up underside, wheelarches, engine bay and so on. If you chaps keep posting stuff like this he'll never have the time! hehe

Seriously though, I've posted lots before about Paul so no need to go into detail. He looks after all our cars and I'd never use anybody else, period.

Seeing as you have never broken 37mph, I estimate this should take all of 7 minutes tongue out
