Default Specialist or dealer in Kent?

Hi all, another new owner here, just bought a 2005 S2000 in nurburgring blue, very happy indeed!

All standard apart from an AEM intake and it may stay like that - I'm keen just to get it up to scratch (although it seems in great condition already) and enjoy it, maybe with a view to doing some sprints at a later date.

Anyway, first things first, can anyone suggest a good place to get a service done, fluids changed and a four wheel alignment check/adjustment in Kent? I've found out about CPL Racing but they're quite far away (I'm based near Sevenoaks) so someone more central would be ideal...

Thanks

I use Redhill Honda,,they have looked after my baby from new and seem to be knowlegeable and efficient although the service manager was disparaging about owner's club.

they give me owners club discount on parts and the labour seems very reasonable. Had rear discs (rusted badly) and pads done and price seemed very fair.

I am taking her in for MOT next month.

Thanks Eric, I might give them a try as they're not too far away from me.

From my research Honda dealers seem to get better reviews than other makes for service work, would you guys trust them with sorting the alignment out?

Anyone else tried anywhere else?

Thanks
Jack

Hi,

I took mine to DMS in Dartford (when they existed and hadn't done a runner!) for servicing and alignment. I think most people would probably recommend TGM or Wheels in Motion for alignment these days.

I need some suspension work and geo done on my car, I would probably look to drop it in at TGM based on other peoples feedback. I gave up with Honda dealers when they asked me whether the S2000 was diesel or petrol......

Cheers, TGM isn't too far away either and if they're as good as the reports suggest then it's probably worth the trip!

I would say go to TGM mate. A good bunch of lads and the service is always good. Only take my S there.
