Most specialist mechanics became specialists because they worked at main dealerships for many years and had all the training. We have one such outstanding Mercedes specialist nearby.

Similarly, I will be visiting a Jaguar specialist in Bury St Edmunds when the weather improves just for a chat and a look around so I can decide whether to build a long term relationship with them to look after our XF. Their mechanics are all ex-JLR main dealer employees.

With our cars being so old, I don't think our experiences can be considered typical. I think people such as Andy (trikey) and Terry (tsauto) are an exception not to be taken as the norm.

Kerridges in Needham Market were an excellent MGR dealership workshop.
