Peterborough Area Servicing - Indies?
Not wanting to use a main dealer, it seems there are a couple of indies in my area and I just wondered if you guys have experience, or preference, for either... Whistle

Bishops 4x4 in Yaxley

Or

RJ Landrovers of Sawtry

Any helpful indicators will be very much appreciated... Thumbs Up

Thanks guys... Bow down  Rog... Mr. Green

Any views on Bishops 4x4 anyone...
They always look to be busy and it would be good to have a choice of two recommendations... Mr. Green

I have seen the quality of Chris Bishop's work first hand and it is second to none, getting hold of them via email or phone can be a bit of a nightmare though.

Another company worth a call is Avenger 4x4, they are based in Peterborough and a good set of guys. It's been a while since I used them but happy with their work.

Thanks everyone...
I have just booked a service and MOT with Bishops 4x4 for no other reason that its location is very convenient and both came highly recommended anyway, so thank you all for your very helpful contributions... Bow down

The reception I received was warm and welcoming and I am looking forward to dropping Mamba off next Wednesday... Mr. Green

I will let you know how it goes after the event... Thumbs Up  Rog... Mr. Green
