Hi,
can anyone recommend a service garage that knows vipers, and isn't going to stick a zero on the price because of the badge?

Everywhere I have tried so far has been either 'sorry sir, we only service chryslers here' or plain 'no we dont do vipers'.

I heard there was a good one in southhampton, but I lost the number..

Summer's fast approaching and I need to be back on the road . Any help gratefully received.

Thanks.
Alex

There's only 2 good un's really, proven by another member definately not Southampton, if you search back through these pages, dealership in Norwich has seen plenty of vipers go through and one in surrey(?) where viper larry takes his car to.

Only a couple of viper trained techs in the UK is the problem, the dealerships will move your car to their garage to complete the work. Thats what happened to my current car, they trailored it both ways from Maidstone

Have you considered asking Nadine to do the servicing? NGTS on here I believe. As she loves Vipers so much she pays you!

She is in Bath which is not too far from Camberley.

I can recommend Motorway Sports Cars down in Kent (just outside Canterbury). I've used them a couple of times now - it's the place viper larry has used too.

The owner ran a GTS for a few years which was looked after by his techs Dave & Mike.

They have done the 998 recall work for a few of us too.

A Viper friendly Chrysler/Jeep dealership who are happy to let you into the workshop while the car is on the ramps so you can see what work has been done!

Excellent, thanks. I did a bit of searching on the forums (hadn't spotted that before) and also came up with:

"Dealer in London is "Clive Sutton" phone 0208 2004455, Andy is their Viper mechanic, he good on Vipers and keen about them too, he'll talk straight to you too! "

So I'll try those two. Thanks for the help.
