QP(V) service

[daverichardson]

Hi chaps
As some will know I am checking out service centres for future reference
My nearest named place is JCT600 in Leeds (50 miles away) They seemed ok
But
I have a local one (7 miles away) - Falcon Engineering that do specialist cars that I need to check out
However
In the local paper today was another service centre (7 miles away) that specialise in all Italian jobbies
The advert shows all the car badges including the Trident
So tomorrow I intend to check the new kid on the block out
As far as I can tell I have only seen 3 Maseratis including mine (another QP-2005 I think and a new Ghibli) in the area so not sure where the trade will come from.................

There's a new Maserati dealer (Bowker Ribble Valley) not far from Preston/Blackburn, I recently had the suspension recall there last week and the car was well cared for.

As for JCT600…they serviced my QP a couple of years back and gave it back to me with the dipstick hanging out which resulted in oil splashing all over.

As for that independent , they will need an SD3 (Ferrari/Maserati) computer to service your car properly, check if they have one.

Autoshield can't be too far away from you, well worth the trip. JCT600 are good from my experience and Bowker are building a great rep too.

Hi again
Checked out the new independent for a QP service
They do not have a SD 3 computer but they said they downloaded relevant software for a recent service on a 3200
They were open and honest and said they were just starting to develop the prestige car market
But
It was a small back street garage with most of the work being carried out on Fiats
So I must reluctantly cross them off my list
Next up will be Falcon Engineering.
So far I have had mixed opinions
Thanks to all for your help
