Barr Tec specialist.
Discussion
Finding a decent Indy for Lamborghini is a challenge. Loads can handle a basic service etc. but if it goes much deeper than that, it gets much harder. Most don't have the right diagnostic software for a start (not that this is a complete show-stopper). It's not like Ferrari where you're more spoiled for choice.
I don't hear too much bad about Barr-Tech but have never used them.
For the Murci, I now use Mark Hosken at Backdraft Motorsport in Milton Keynes for any 'interim' work. He knows his way around the cars and more than that, he's got enough 'old school' mechanic about him to care (he's fixed things that Lamborghini couldn't). He also knows people who can fix and rebuild components rather than just replace them. Finally he's a very nice bloke.
For major services it goes back to Lambo in Pangbourne mainly for the history. I find the mixture between the Dealer and the Specialist gets me the best of both worlds in terms of history, cost and ability.
I've visited Grimaldi once, and I think if you want to go to the Independent route, I think he's the gold standard. Trained under Colin Clarke if my memory serves me well. Then there's the place that you won't go back to, but they do seem to get mostly positive reviews.

Personally, I have found that Barr-tech have stopped being responsive these days.
They don't seem interested in new work anymore.
I'm not sure what's going on but for the past couple of years I have been travelling further away to find a more helpful and reliable service.
it's a shame as they are local to me, but I'm afraid that I choose to avoid Barr-tech.
+1 for AV Engineering and Grimaldi.
