I guess this is sort of what I'm getting at above, albeit without personal experience. These places offer excellent rates but I've often wondered if it may be false economy compared to using the slightly more expensive type specialists who really know the cars or significantly more expensive main dealers, regardless of whether you're keeping or selling.I had bad experience with a similar firm not far from me. They did Supercars, but it came back with the same oil filter fitted, the clutch bleed block hadnt been changed and I wondered if they did anything at all to my 430. I was left feeling like it was all bullshit .
Also I would be very warry about purchasing a Ferrari that hasnt got either dealer or well known and regarded Ferrari specialist stamps in the book. In some respects the specialists might be better with older models as they have more experience dealing with the type, than the shiny main dealer with posh coffee and the supermodel receptionist.
Also If someone is serious about buying your car, they are likely to have done some research on who is best to service etc, and might even ask one of the specialist to inspect it, so an unknown generic specialist service might be a red flag.
Adam is good as are Nick & Nigel of R&D Automotive. I took it to SCC to see what they were like for a potential future car. The logistics for me are a bit of a PITA using Adam as I have to rely on my daughter or pal to drop me off/pick me up. I am about 25 miles from Adam which is 54 minutes (by car) as of 7:26am and 2 hours 33 on the train. I tried the train once and I won't try it again.I always thought the goto place in the North West was A & E Engineering

Those are the ones I fear. I had one on my F355 along with several £1000's spent in getting it through emission tests over about three years. My first belt service on my 360 was hefty but there was a bit of other non related work required.I guess this is sort of what I'm getting at above, albeit without personal experience.

Of course, this might just be sour grapes as my car is shortly to be returned to me from one of the afore mentioned specialists for an engine out belts change and major service and they've been so bleedin' thorough I've got a very big bill coming so perhaps you should ignore any advice I give ..........
That's certainly refreshingGood morning and some interesting replies. I took the car and what was really nice is the price they advertised for the service was the price I paid.
