I have 1998 4.5 Cerbera which has just come out of warranty. I need to get an idea of where you guys recommend to look after it as it will be requiring the big 12k service soon. I'd rather pay a little more and have excellent service and someone take care and pride in servicing the car than go to the cheapest option i can find. I'm located in Bath but can travel and would like to hear your guys comments and experiences (and costs!) for dealers either specialists or main dealers.
Thanks in advance

APM Automotive. Had a similar dilemma to you earlier this year. 24,000 mile service completed on my 4.5 and the car feels so much tighter than before. Andy is very friendly and knows his onions and has to be the best kept secret in Southern England. I will always be more than happy to endorse his service!!!!!

PS He's just South of Guildford.

As you are in Bath a quick trip down the M5 to Cullompton brings you to Peninsula. Get all mine done there now instead of rip off H****y H******E. Labour at £30/hour, job times that aren't a rip off and whats more TVR accept their stamp on the reply card too. Richard who runs the place is an ex-Brooklands Exeter man (well we dont hold that against him) so they know whats what. They have a good web site - check it out.
Alternatively, there is Andy (another ex-TVR man) at APM auto based near Alton, Hants - not too far from bath. A very, very nice man having helped me out with wheels. Not had any work done by him but others on PH sing his praises loudly. ANd of course, if you can make the trek there is Joolz.

Just to add to high recommendations for Andy at APM -particulary as he's servicing mine just now and I want to keep him sweet!

Took my 4.5 to Joolz yesterday for a once over and was very impressed, certainly lives up to all the praise he has been receiving lately from other PH"ers on this site.. Recommended *****
