Falkland or DJB motorsport for a service?

I need to think now about next months C service - its done 37k miles and I think this is the one thats due.

I am not sure though what work has been done when the car was bought from a dealer in February 05.

The book isnt stamped since last summer but Im not sure what they may have done prior to selling the car, as I bought it in April 05.

Who's going to be the best out the two? Im sure I read DJB is a SE'er, I want honesty and good price!

Do you mean DB Motorsport in West Calder ?

If so, its a not brainer, Brunty is a SE'er, a good grease monkey and a damm nice bloke.

Just did an oil and filter change on my VX and has done brakes for me in the past. Highly recommended

Yeah, think it must be - I followed http://www.dbmotorsport.co.uk but then on that page it has DJB.

Sounds good so far.

Yup thats Dave. He just works out of his house, so he you can take the p*ss and turn up at all hours lol

I know he looks after a few of the SE guys - give him a bell

Ive used Brunty (DB Motorsport)

B service cost £160 including engine flush!

Hes a top bloke, definently worth a visit!!

Used Dave for a replacement wheel bearing, well chuffed.

Make sure you call first.

Looks like DJB it is then. Will call for price for C service as belt hasn't been changed so I think I`ll get it done to be safe. Falkland wanted 400 and that was excluding filter so will report back for any other folk in same situation.

£400 isn't actually *too* shabby... It's the big service after all, MMC will charge you four figures!

Still, Brunty's a good bloke and definately knows one end of a spanner from t'other!

The email I got back from Falkland was along the lines of...... "...it`ll be from about 400 I think from last time we did one..."

Anyway, I spoke to DJB today and its going in in a fortnight to get whatever needs done, done.

And MMC will never, ever, get the chance to charge me four figures for a service. ever.
