PPI on a 4200 in London?

[G-Loc]

Hi I'd like to get a PPI done on a manual 4200.
Can anyone recommend someone?
The car is in the Epping Forest area.

Thanks!

I suppose you want a mobile tech...?
If you can get the car to them, McGrath Maserati aren’t far away being in Kimpton...?

Auto Alfa in Basildon is my go to, but might be a stretch. But Feli might also be prepared to travel to do it. He's dropped my cars back before and I am a spit from Epping Forest.

But it's a big place, so a little more locational detail could help

I used Nuvola when buying a GranTurismo privately - luckily the seller agreed to take it there for me.

Thanks-yeah I used them once before-very good. They even picked up though I think they were reasonably close in SW London.
Helped me dodge a bullet-also on a GT.

Hi it's in Loughton. It also needs a major service either paid by me or the vendor. Dropping off not impossible. Am up in Scotland so don't have much local knowledge..

Bit of a stretch from Feli then. Nuvola might be a better bet

Nuvola is on the west that's a pretty awful journey. McGrath Maserati and Auto Alfa Basildon look the 'closest'.

I have also used Nick Giles car inspections when on my search for my GT - he is mobile and very reasonably priced. (Based Herefordshire way I think) Obviously no ramps or specialist code readers but he’s very knowledgeable and used to own a Maser - if there are common items you want him to check for he is very amicable and customer focused (although he specialises in Porsche).

Google his website and see what you reckon.

Cheers pal much appreciated. Yesterday the vendor (who is time-poor / cash-rich) had it picked up for a service by Jardine Ferrari so for the sake of expediency I asked them to tack on a PPI. It's had a fairly pampered life but I'll still need to put their comments through a reality filter....

PS. Beautiful GT. Was seriously considering a Sport in Trionfale a few months ago but decided I needed a stick

Thanks, It was the colour that made my budget creep by £10k! I also prefer the facelift interior, it’s MC shift too, so exactly the unicorn I was looking for.

Good luck on the inspection- Hope the report doesn’t reveal any nasties, and the seller is open to negotiation if there is anything on the report.

Nothing urgent or major identified. Missing undertray under the bumper, rear boot not opening electronically so poss a fried solenoid. Some surface non-structural corrosion on front sub-frame so a rub-down/waxoyl needed. Non-urgent they found a little play on the rear trackrod bearing and front upper suspension bushes slightly perished but they are best polyflexed anyway. It's now serviced inc drive belt.
