Anyone know a good Caterham specialist where I can get my car serviced and MOTd within about 20 mile radius of Newbury???
I think I once came across somewhere in Didcot but I can't remember where now!!
I had planned on going to Hofmanns in Henley as they seemed very enthusiastic and professional when when I visited them and made an initial inquiry but unfortunately their communication skills seem to be on a par with CC insurance so I've given them up as a bad job!!
I know any garage can MOT it and I could probably do the service myself (if I could be bothered!) but there is a loud whine coming from somewhere and I would really liked it thoroughly checked over by someone who knows what they are doing.
All suggestions/ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I know it's outside of your 20 mile radius but James Whiting in Ashford Middlesex is not too far from you and knows more about 7s than just about anyone in the area. Highly recommended

I just got mine MOT'd by Foster & Heanes. They were recommended by people in the L7 club, and were very good and very careful with the car

Try Finchampstead MOT in near Wokingham, they MOT mine and a number of other Sevens and are fair and reasoanable.

I use http://www.ardenautomotive.co.uk/ - They come highly recommended amongst Caterham and kit car owners around Oxfordshire...

Based in Didcot and well worth a run up there...

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions. I popped up to see Arden in Didcot today and they seemed to know what they were talking about and have dealt with Caterhams before so I have booked it in there. I will let you know later if I have made the right decision!
