As the title really, has anyone any recommendations of good independent garages for an L322 in or around Cambridgeshire. I'm near Huntingdon and whilst I normally do most of my own work, it's often handy to have a garage to run to for the undesirable jobs!

Recommendations on where NOT to go also appreciated!

Cheers,

Andy

Hi Andy

I would also be interested to hear of any recommendations in this area too!

I'm currently considering Essex 4x4 but they are an hour away from me. I have also heard good things about Rogers of Bedford.

One place I will definitely NOT consider is a certain main dealer not a million miles away from me. I bought a pristine 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8 and took it to them for the brake hose recall. It came back with a chip in both offside doors and wing. Took it back for a day as they offered to do a SMART repair, but all they did was to try to polish the chips out!! Service Manager said "I thought they would have touched it up with a stick"!

Got my own chap to do it and he did a great job as ever.

That's two of us not enamoured with the main dealers then!

The only place I came across when I ran a search was Iawa Classics and 4x4 but by the look of things they're more for the earlier models.....

Not a RR specialist - but I've taken all my cars to a local indy for over 10 years - he's never been stumped and 100% trustworthy & reliable.

The imaginatively named Franks Autos

There's a few other RR owners use him, but he'll work on anything & everything.

He has the most amazing wheel balancer I've seen - it has its own kind of rolling road and even tells him which wheel to put on which corner of the car

Yes, I know of Frank's. He's got a Hunter road force wheel balancer and the latest Hunter wheel alignment rig. Top bloke, but I'm less keen on the lads working for him.

He seems to keep a good eye on them - at least whenever I'm there - and particularly for anything more complicated.
