Hi everyone,

I've just purchased a 12C which is due a service plus a few little niggles that I would like sorting.

Can anyone recommend a good independent near Bristol that would assist with this?

I've heard very good things about Avantgarde in Clevedon through a friend of mine who has a Mercedes and uses them regularly who told me about their line up of SLRs in for service.

I'm going to drive down later for a look but I wondered if there was anyone else in the area that comes recommended?

Thanks all in advance.

Thanks everyone for the advice and recommendations.

I popped down to Avantgarde yesterday to have a look and I have to say, very impressive little outfit.

4 SLRs in the workshop, one of them a 722s imported in from Dubai specifically for them to work on because the engine needed to come out for a service as well as a 570 and a Ferrari 360 in the car park awaiting collection.

The owner explained there are 2 sides to his business, Mercedes Benz as well as supercars, mainly McLaren and Ferrari, which has 2 dedicated techs for, himself and one other and as he's ex McLaren himself, he's built a solid reputation with MSO for all McLaren parts, tech advice etc. They certainly look like they are well trusted within their circle of clients and I'd have no reason to doubt their ability.

I've booked in with them for 3rd week of July for a service and a few other bits so I'll report back.
