My S2 111s needs a 27000 B service and mot in the near future, can anyone recommend an independent, I'm in dorset so anyone in the south or south west area. I,ve been told that dealers charge over the odds, can this be true?

Many thanks

Coz & Dave at Sportamotive are top guys. If you haven't had a response to email i suggest you give them a call, as they're usually quite busy.

Another option is Geoff at Esprit Engineering in Downtown, a bit cheaper, but he is a one man band and can be difficult to tie down sometimes.

I've used both and have been happy woth proce / service on each occasion

The cheapest, is Fibreglass services. Not very near, but so much cheaper that the cost in petrol is still covered, even at todays prices.
Only down side is that some find Myles a tad confrontational, not that I have ever had any issues.

On my pre-SatNav pre-metric geography, I think Beachy's recommendation may be more South East !

I'm using the A3(M) as my cross-border geographical frontier

Most likely, however as their prices are significantly less than others around here, the cost in getting there does not make them to expensive
