Hello!

My 2005 111S is due its first 'B' Service (cars got around 11k on clock).... How much should I look to pay for this from:

a) a Main Agent (such as my local Christopher Neil)?
b) a good indie? (If anyone would be so kind as to recommend)?

I'd be keen to hear of any good independent Lotus garages in my area... I live in shropshire but would be willing to travel anywhere if the savings were worth it and the service good. Likewise somewhere local would be even better.... midlands, north west, north wales?

Many thanks,

Craig

Anywhere from £180-300 depending on the garage ... Average quoted is approximately £250.

Just thought i'd drop a quick note to say that I had the 111s 'B-Serviced' at TopGear Automotive in Wolverhampton on Saturday and I must say I was VERY impressed!

First of all their costs are a good bit cheaper than a main agent and the service all that more personal... you could tell the two guys were passionate about what they did.

They open 9am-1pm on Saturday BUT at 4pm on Friday I got a last minute call to attend a wedding at 1pm on Saturday..... I called TopGear and they agreed to come in an hour earlier so I could get on my way by 11am! When I pulled up at 7.50am they were stood by the garage door waving me in!

In addition there were a couple of things over and above i needed looking at.... the power socket didn't work (for my sat-nav) and there was a slight rattle from underneath the car - these were sorted for pennies.

So i didn't have to hang around they gave me a lift into town and then picked me up 2.5hrs later, following a call to my mobile. They'd even changed the pads and brake fluid in that time.

The car was perfect and i'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone on PH.... see website address on the post above.

Well done chaps! angel
