We are just about due for our 12k service, can any of you point me in the right direction for good price and most important of all.... reputable workmanship?
Not fussed where it is, as we are prepared to travel, and have a weekend away at the same time. Also do you get a courtesy car as part of the deal?

Without question THE FACTORY!

You might have to wait to get booked in and the use of a griff cerb whatever but ring Heath and have a couple of days in Blackpool. The service lads are spot on and if you need any little upgrades or have any problems there is obviously nowhere better and they are reasonably priced!

Nothing wrong with Castle Alan. We just thought that we would shop around for a competetive price.
As you might have read, i have been down to Peninsula to have a straight through stainless sports exhaust fitted on the rear end, they made it to my spec, Paul chandler and I were well impressed with the team down there. They even gave us the keys to one of their cars, so that we could go and get lunch.(techman i will leave it up to you to tell em what car it was)Only thing i will say is that i did'nt take long to get to the pub with Paul driving....Phew !!!!

Look at TVR Power website. Should be the same price as the Factory and they are in Coventry. I got my 350C in within four working days for its 12000 mile service

TVR Power! Thier Rates are good if you look on the website. Think their hourly rate is in the region of £44.00 per hour. TVR Centre is £78.00 as I recall.

Can't wait to hear the exhaust Dave!
