Depending on when you need the work done we may be able to coordinate a car transporter.

My GS will be due back from Sports Italia in a week or so and likely I will not have the time to get the train down there to collect... so the transporter will be going back empty from Gloucestershire.

I found them online as they are on the same industrial estate as a car rustproofing company?
If I get a chance I’ll drive over there next week & check them out.

It cost me £160 to get the car there from GL12, but as he is going back empty after returning mine it should be less than that.

The Cowbrige specialist is in Llandow surprised we haven't met them before the number of times we have used the Track ?

Hi safrane Is it worth me ringing sports Italia direct to organise the low loader for my car as it needs a service as well as subframes rust proofed? Regards Marco

Welcome, QP looks nice

I see the regulars have imparted their advice on specialists so need to add further

Of course... I am flexible with my cars return so if it fits in with yours going down all the better... if not, no problem.

Welcome to the forum, I live just outside Cowbridge and there's definitely no Maserati specialist around here!
Cheers
Mike
I stand corrected, there is indeed a Maserati specialist in the vicinity of Cowbridge. It's on the Llandow trading estate just down the road from the track. If you intend using their services I would recommend having the car transported there as the access road is atrocious! The road is also used as access to the local recycling centre and is a source of continual complaints to the council about it's condition.
Cheers
Mike

Is that by the Ford dealer then ? The road is narrow but it's still OK to drive and the real narrow bit isn't long and you can miss it if you go the other way in..... Not sure I would pay to have a car transported there ...Use the money you save on fuel to get there.

No, the ford dealer is on the Vale business park and the narrow bit of road you refer to has now been bypassed by a new road just outside Cowbridge. The access road I'm referring to is on the Llandow trading estate just past the turn off for the track.

So a Maserati specialist who none of us have heard of or used, located down a dirt track that you may not want to drive down?!?

No link to a web site outlining thier credentials or any form of advertising so far as I have seen.

Think I will stick with who I know for now.

It's not a dirt track but a wide road that's not maintained to a very good standard, I drove along it yesterday in a 10 year old Focus and I was concerned about the possibility of damage to the car! It's probably 3/4 of a mile from the track.

@jebroni , welcome along, and well done.

Give Matt (@conaero) at SportsItalia a shout. Their reputation is excellent, and if you can coordinate transport with Peter (safrane) then you'll be getting exceptional service with a no-dirt-road guarantee.
