Lamborghini workshops the Northants Bucks Beds area ??

[9ff GB]

I currently run a Porsche workshop Based in Wellingborough Northamptonshire and have been getting calls for Lamborghini work which i have done including clutches and service work and upgrades on all new age cars.
We are looking into bringing Lambo into our shop along side the Porsche and wondered if there was anyone near us doing the same thing? or if we should push it as a service we provide.
i currently have the genuine Lamborghini diagnostics kit on order so we will be ably to carry out and diagnose all models.

Just interested in the kind of responce we would get from owners.

many kind regards jamie

SB Race Engineering, Hemel Hempstead, Herts
DK Engineering, Chorleywood, Herts
BHP, Bucks

I know SB are very good bit more Ferrari orientated, BHP I have yet to try, and my short experience with DK was poor, I would not go back there.

I would welcome another choice to take my car to!

How did you get that.
will you be able to log in to Lamborghini Italy for updates, I thought you had to be authorised workshops to do that.

you can buy anything in the states not cheap mind you $18000 for the genuine lambo kit not just cable and laptop with all updates to the end of 2010. with updates available as and when they come out.

Sorry changed my username as the 9ff is very one sided to just Porsche.

I think manufacturers are now required to make available the necessary tools to enable independent service companies to maintain the vehicles. It's EU rules or sum't.

https://serviceinformation.lamborghini.com

100 yo-yos for a day's access, in return for which you can then log in and sign up to rent the software at 800 for a month, or 9,000 for a year.

I'm in wellingborough too I noticed that Dovehouse now have their own workshops, might be worth asking them what facilities they have for lambo

When i had a Gallardo i used Millbrook in Sheffield, there's no one 'local' thats really a specialist in lambo.

[SP ltd]

Well we have made the jump and now have our new workshop in wellingborough and have set our market stall out as Lamborghini only service repair and upgrades.
we have moved away from the Porsche side and are now focusing on being Lamborghini only!
we aim to offer a better than dealer experiance at a large saving while using genuine parts.

any questions i'd be happy to answer

Kind regards jamie

[GallardoOwner]

would be interested to hear once anybody has been in for a service, Thanks

Jamie,
I popped in to see your new workshop today on the leyland estate only to find unit 67 locked up and derelict !!
Have I gone to the wrong place ?

[SP ltd]

Tony i am sorry i must have just popped out, we only got the keys last week and the place has been empty for over 3 years so we are working to make the place look and feel as it should hence the being in and out all the time and awaiting skips etc to arrive to clear all the crap from the front left so kindly by the previous tennant.
The reason for the move was a massive 75% saving in overheads.

kind regards jamie

Slightly OS but Shiltech (Loughborough) are fantastic. Had a slight oil leak in the Diablo last Monday, phoned them and the car was picked up the following day, fixed, valeted and returned to me on the Saturday :-)
