I need to get my S2 Elise in for an A service. Peter Smith are quoting £409!! - Is this right?

Can anyone recommend an alternative dealer or specialist? I live just off M1 J25, so Derbys, Notts, Leics sort of area.

Thanks

No. Don't do that! Jesus.

There's loads of options in the midlands. Someone on here will give you a decent idea. Even Nick Whale should be cheaper than that.

I'm in Norfolk so I kinda have to pay out - but I don't mind going to the actual factory...

A good specialist should be around 250.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. But I guarantee someone will help you out.

Godd luck buddy.

HR Owen quoted me £450 four years ago. I would love to know where the dealers buy oil.

Call Horizon. Less than £200, mine was serviced there a week ago.

Matt,

Most of us Leicester based Liz owners use Horizon. Very good value indeed and top service.

Check out MLOC for loads of advice on local servicing.

Just had the 'C'service by Horizon - had a great day made very welcome, think i made some new friends - made the wait very pleasant. The most important thing is you are not left 'lonely as a cloud' waiting for the work to be done like at some other dealers also coffee is on tap.

Bit of a nightmare getting down from Chester, firstly it was congested, crawled all the way! (40mph tops) then tomtom stopped working!!! but Horizon guided me in with a quick phone call.

Had a great journey back - raced the weather all the way home, could see the rain chasing me up the 'A' roads in my rear view mirror - fab fun

(yes - i got the Lotus home topless)

Forgot to mention - i will be getting my work done by Horizon in the future - no problem

£409 for an 'A' is nearly the price of Horizon's 'C' inc. vat.
