Good West Country (UK) dealer

I know of Bridgwater branch - but are there any others better ?

I'm in Somerset next week and want to get something looked into.

Oh, and if anyone fancies a mini meet - let me know.

>>Heading down tomorrow via the Bovington Tank museum on the South Coast - should be a good drive.

So much cheaper than London!

Highgate quoted me £160 per hour (it's cheaper if the car is older than 4 years - WTF??)

Scotthall Stanmore - £140 + VAT = £164.50

Stratstone at Taplow (Maidenhead)- £65 + VAT for 4 yr old cars - my oil service cost less than £140.

Only trouble is that they are buggers re allowing marginal warranty claims so need to find another dealer for these matters - will probably use Scotthall Borehamwood for those as they are very helpful.
