I have not had any problems and prices don't seem too bad relative to others in Herts - courtesy cars are hard to come by and you have to pay your own insurance which bugs some people, but doesn't particularly bother me.

Off on a tangent but I noticed an old film on called the Lavender Hill Mob - whats that all about?

Hi
Bought my car there and have it serviced there too.
Always good service

Mind you Phil may get overcharged at his next service after that comment on Dave

All the best

Bought my car through them, i paid too much on the day it turns out, and they sent me a cheque back in the post! hows that for honest!!

If they were just a bit more local i would use them for servicing.

Bought the car off them, and have had it serviced there too. Nice folks, decent prices.

Dave, do I qualify for a discount on you fitting a Defi pod and gauges for the plug? ;-)

Looks like you will need to do a lot of grovelling, Phil.

"Liked the service so much I shagged the manager" - not a bad advert all things considered, shame JD Power do not rank on this criterion, could make for a spicier read.

Must say they are top guys as they were one of quite a few dealers would service my import.

Great customer service and not too bad pricing.


Mel.
