Hi All, just purchased a 57 plate GranTurismo and was advised to join this group by a 3200 owner. Would like to know if there are any recommendations for servicing in the Newbury area, would prefer a specialist but I can't find any close by!!

Congratulations and welcome!
You've had good advice there.
There are many contributing specialists on the forum, I'm sure recommendations for your Granturismo will be along shortly.

Emblem at Poole may be close enough...what they don't know about Masersis just not worth knowin .

I know you want a specialist but I would go Dick Lovett in Swindon as they are one of the good ones and tend to match any specialist quote forvindentical work....or they use to.....

Dick Lovett in Swindon is fine if you have lots of money and want absolutely everything done, but otherwise you want a specialist. Nobody near Newbury, that I know of, but Ftech in Exeter and Migliore in Bromsgrove both good.

Even though Exeter sounds a long way from Newbury, FTECH offer a very reasonable covered collection/delivery service, so they are definitely worth talking to. Or there's Emblem in Poole, or Clive Lewis near Bedford, or McGrath in Milton Keynes. For a main dealer, the Meridien Modena service centre is near Southampton.

I've just been down to see Voicey in Kent, it's a 230 mile round trip but well worth it. I actually get to look under the car and go through every single part of the car with him whilst there. Won't go to anyone else now.

ditto to that. Tell their service people you have a specialist quote and they will work very hard to match it. You also get quite a good courtesy car - my last 2 were petrol Ghiblis!

Thanks for all the replies, I have been recommended Emblem by my 3200 friend (Dominic Smith and Tony Collison, I work with them both). I am planning on taking the car to Emblem to get a health check, hopefully it gets a clean bill of health... but want to do it before my 6 month warranty runs out! So far extremely happy with the car, just need to get out on some long drives! Cheers Phil

Emblem - you wont be sorry...and they will give you a list of things that need to be done (in time) but great if the warranty will pick up the tab.

Welcome to the forum. It is a great portal into an amazing knowledge base and enthusiasm for the marque. I'm sure you will enjoy the car and the Maserati experience.
