My T350 has just about reached 5K miles now so I am trying to find the best place to go for the 6K service. I live about equal distance between HHC and drivestyle Harrogate so I wondered which I should go to?

Also I have been talking to poeple who have praised Falcon Performance Middlesbrough, anyboy used these ?

Having tried both HHC's there is a huge difference. Hexham HC is the one I use because they have a real passion for TVR. You'll find Hexham are an honest bunch. There's one couple from Manchester that still use Hexham because they enjoy the relationship

Harrogate just treated servicing as a job to finish quickly and take your money.

I don't know if the situation has changed recently with Drivestyle taking over the harrogate HC dept, but it always used to be the case that hexham were the better garage .. a forward-thinking progressive outlook and genuine enthusiasm .. quite the opposite to Harrogate who had no investment in their workshop or staff and a very outdated image just as TVR were changing from kit car builder to genuine supercar manufacturer ..

but go see them at Drivestyle now and see if things have changed.

And if you're a TVR Car Club member i think they'll give you a 10% discount. Realy nice bunch to deal with.

As I understand this Drivestyle replaced the dealer forecourt element of the Harrogate outfit but retained the old TVR workshop and staff. I would suggest therefore that the Harrogate maintenance workshop is unchanged in their attitude to customers. I may be wrong; I haven't used them since the takeover.

Just an update 6K service done at Falcon great service yet again good recommendations and car was gleaming when I picked it up. All for about £200 cheaper than a TVR dealer!!
