TVR servicing near Bournemouth?

[munky]

Does anyone know of a good place near Bournemouth? I did hear that Westover does TVRs - are they any good?

thanks!

Westover have been ok for me for a service, but they don't live and breathe TVRs compared to TVR Power, Austec or the other indies mentioned on the board.
Personal service - it can be difficult to get past the legal alien on the front desk to talk to the guy who is actually spannering your car.
They also charge like a main dealer.

If you have the time there is a main line, direct train to TVR Power. Bit of a hike but worth it.

Austec used to do it in a day while you wait 8am - 5pm. And you can chat to the mechanic whilst he is doing it. (might have been short 6000 mile service though).

There is also someone towards Exeter that has good reviews.

APM Automotive in Liphook are very good.

Based on personal experience I would not use Westovers.

Dulford in Collumpton (near Exeter) get my vote, not that far away, you can get a train to Tiverton Parkway and they'll pick you up.

Fernhurst Motor Co get my vote. I bought from there and drive an hour to get there for any work I need done. Free courtesy car if you book ahead or they'll drop you off at Haslemere station which is on the London-Southampton line I think (South West Trains). Highly recommended.
