Independent Service Centres

mickyturner · 09-07-2008, 14:30

Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend an independent service centre around Peterborough area?

Doing approx 25-30K a year in a Fabia VRS, costing me a fortune going to Wings!

Any recommendations be greatly appreciated.

Why not diy it?

Thanks for reply Monkeychild,

Thought about it. Ok with oil & filters etc but it due a cambelt change and MOT too, so may as well get it all done at same time.

Cambelts seem expensive for replacement, but gotta be done, not worth the risk!

Jabbasport would be a good bet.

Or i'm not that far away

Thanks all for answering. Will give CPMS a try. Also spoke to Autohaus in Northampton, who quoted £75.00 Inc VAT for a 50k service and said cambelt not due till 80K???? (I was always led to believe it to be every 60K) but would cost £300.00 when due.

Try 'Cambelters' for your..er...cambelt. The guy's name is Paul, and he's in Crowland. He's done a few on my cars and had no probs, and he's normally very cheap too. His number is 07926 259993.

Cambelt is 60k or 4 years now IIRC, but regardless I'd suggest having a chat with Ross (Lummox) as I'm sure he could do you a good price and is very familiar with the engine in your car
