With more than 30 years experience, we understand the importance of regularly servicing your Lotus vehicle and how this helps to protect your investment.
We also understand how important it is to follow the manufacturer's recommended servicing schedules.
This process provides piece of mind and the following benefits:
Preserves your Lotus vehicle warranty and servicing records
Preserves your Lotus vehicle value when you decide to sell it
Preserves your Lotus vehicle integrity to operate in a safe and reliable manner
From experience, too often we see servicing schedules overlooked or completely ignored.
Ultimately this does have an effect on the vehicle and over an extended period erodes away the vehicles integrity, reliability, safety and re-sale value.
Our objective
To solve your Lotus vehicle problems in a timely and cost effective manner.
This approach focuses on a permanent and quality solution that does not compromise your vehicles integrity or safety. This pragmatic approach also involves a high level of communication to keep the customer in the decision making process.
This well defined procedure is intended to ensure customer satisfaction.

What we don’t do
* We do not service or repair vehicles such as Jaguar, Triumph, Aston Martin, Ferrari, or any other performance vehicles. Instead we choose to focus on the Lotus Marque.
* We do not offer “fixed priced vehicle servicing” that embraces just changing a few basic items.
* We do not employ school teachers, photographers, builders, or any other person who is handy with a spanner. Instead we work with experienced and qualified professionals.
* We do not supply or fit cheap parts. Instead we fit quality parts that will not compromise the reliability or integrity of your Lotus vehicle.
* We do not carry out performance modifications just because someone thinks it’s a good idea or may have seen it on a web site. Instead we prefer to offer proven solutions that are guaranteed to deliver value plus performance.
* During routine maintenance, we do not ignore defective brake hoses or any other worn out components. Many vehicles still have the original brake hoses that were installed by the Lotus Factory when the car was new. These original components have a limited service life and need to be changed before they fail completely.
* We do not perform miracles but we will explore all options before explaining to you why it’s not possible to carry out certain repairs.
