Hendy at porchester ruined the paintwork on my old one with their "courtesy" valetting, and then filled it up with semi synth instead of the stuff that I provided. They may have improved in the last 4 yrs, but my new one will be going up to TGM instead. They did the last service on the old one and were great.

TGM all the way, worth the small trip up the M3.

Someone else with a recent full service thread https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/107...th-service-420
That was my thread. My local Honda dealer was a little sketchy on what needed to be done, I actually told them what was required for a full service. In the end I did go to TGM and recommend them too. They even fixed a loose heat shield that was causing a rattle. I was quoted £340 on the phone but only billed for £316

TGM without a doubt. I dropped my car off to Tom Saturday with a random list of jobs for him to do. Top bloke. Well worth the trip to Fleet and back (I'm near Winchester).

Another vote for TGM.

Were you the guy loitering outside whilst waiting for a ladyboy blue to come of the ramp?

Only problem with TGM is the potholes on the way in. Not great when lowered.
