Good Place for Service in Reading?

Hi everyone

Where do owners in Reading take their cars for services ? We have an 07 Vectra CDTi150 SRi that is due an MOT and ideally would like to get it done at the same time as a service. We bought the car from Sonning Common Vauxhall and although they have been good (apart from charging £70 to refill an aircon unit that leaked it out within a week

), they aren't a convenient location and from other cars experience, main dealers aren't usually the best place to go after the warranty has expired.

So, any advice out there?

Thanks guys

If you don't mind a drive, there's a place in High Wycombe I'd recommend.

It's called "Just MOTS" but the boss Paul Wakelin does servicing and repairs AND he was a VX Master Technican for many years at a dealership in Ruislip, Middx. Tel no. if you're interested, is 01494.474286

Here's the company on the "Good garage scheme" http://www.goodgaragescheme.co.uk/se...ecordID=MzE3Ng== and there might well be others more local to you.
