East midlands service recommendations ??

Hello all.
My FL2 my13 is due for the 2nd service and as I'm based in Leicester have phoned around for quotes.
Lowest from Witton Street at £240
Nene Valley (nthampton) £401
Stratstone (Nott) £405
Marshall (M. Mobray) £565
Sturgess and Guy Salmon to ring back.

Anyone can recommend a cheaper/good service centre I'd be very happy.
Or warn me off any dodgy ones I'd also appreciate.
Cheers and hope all had a good Christmas.

I have used Stratton Nottingham for the past two years all was good the first time as was the loan car but last time I went they did not have a loan car as promised leaving me stuck in Nottingham they also phoned me telling me I needed tires replacing and the turbo was misting, when I told them not to either of these it provoked quite a discussion! they also told me that my gear change was "clunky" and they had greased the cable to alleviate the "clunkyness".

I got another 8 months out of the tires before having winters put on and they were still legal the turbo misting was easily self sorted as for greasing the gear change cable I guess they just put a dab of grease on each end and hoped for the best.

I may give them the benefit of the doubt this year but have time to make my mind up yet, I am told by a patient of mine that there is an independent LR specialist in Twyford near Melton called County Mechanical Services who he rates highly so I may even give them a ring anyone know of them?

England 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Santorini Black

I use Derby 4x4 but maybe a little too far if you want somewhere local.
Was about to warn you off Nene Valley then realized I Was confusing them with Nene Overpriced so NV probably ok. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

Thanks men.
I've booked it into Sturgess at £401. I was unsure about the £240 at the indy as it's got no recommendations that I can find and £401 was after some bargaining. Sturgess has been good on my short experience of them.
Thanks again.
