Hi all.
Picking up my '5 tomorrow -excited!! [:)] Although I’m planning to do the basic service items (plugs, filters, fluids, etc.) myself, I don’t feel confident enough (yet) to do anything more than that - I’m a complete novice when it comes to car maintenance - so I need recommendations of places near to me (Chester/Wrexham/Mold sort of area) that I can trust to do a good job on my '5 without charging me a fortune.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers.

These are in Neston. I have never used them but they appeared several times in a “Servicing on Merseyside” thread. I have spoken on the phone to them and they “sounded” OK.
I went to look at a car at Supercar Classics when I was shopping around - they don’t do servicing, only sales. Well, there was certainly no service bay in evidence, at any rate …
On their website, click on “about us”. Bottom of page is a servicing price list. How much outside of a standard service they can do I don’t know.
Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean. I wonder if they have another premises somewhere where they do the servicing? The unit that I visited them at when I was ‘car shopping’ had some very lovely cars for sale in it, but definitely no workshop …
Anyway - any other suggestions?
This guy has a good reputation, knows '5s well, races them etc, he’s in Cheshire
Sounds ominous! Are you able to elaborate?
Give us a rough idea of what went wrong please?
Hi Gareth,
I have a small garage I use at weekends which has all the facilities. I will be doing a cambelt on a V6 Omega and then changing the coolant, gearbox oil and diff oil on my 5 tomorrow. You are more than welcome to come along and do your servicing and if you get stuck I will give you a hand. I am located in Northwich which is probably an hour away from you.
Thanks for the offer!
