Service / spares?

[Roadrunner]

I've heard you can get the vipers serviced in any uk chrysler jeep garage. Is this the case? How long do you have to wait for spares or repair work?

thats a good one really made me

I've never had to use a Chrysler garage in 6 years for anything major, finding a viper trained tech is the problem as I've been told there are only 3 in the country. I prefer to order my own parts (which is easy) and get my local trustworthy garage to fit them. A normal service at Chrysler is supposed to be around £170, but I'll think you'll find most owners will prefer not to let Chrysler touch their car

I went to my local dealership yesterday and spoke to a mechanic who had worked there for 10 years and still had never seen a viper, we'll until yesterday......

I guess there's not really a reputable independent viper place in the uk then.

I bought my car from 'Motorway Sports' in Canterbury, Kent - they are a Chrysler & Lotus dealer. The owner of the dealership owned the Viper for 3 years and his technicians have looked after it. It's currently in for the recall work - needed two replacement cross members and the parts were in within a day or two. I guess they have some good experience. Might be worth a go if you can't find a local garage?

Hi RoadRunner,

N GTS posted this on a similar thread I started up a few weeks ago

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

A mentioned above, the trick is to find either a Viper technician, or somebody you are happy and confident with.

I am going to try Clive Sutton myself, and will let you guys know the outcome.
