New Business Launching

A recent annual service and health check identified some points that needed addressing. Dale took on the work which included, replacement of the front suspension bushes and weepy RH cam cover. 1 x 'on its last legs' noisy air-con compressor (will post about this in alternative parts), failing torque converter seal and G-Box sump seal. This afternoon Dale delivered back to me a now non leaky, non squeaky and gleamingly clean car. I was always kept updated with videos and images which was a nice touch, and even when he wanted to replace minor fixings (exhaust clamps for example) he double checked before proceeding. A really thorough and professional service all-round, knows these cars inside-out and without a doubt person who prides himself in his work. Also very content with the agreed costs.

Being London based, I will certainly be a repeat customer. Fingers crossed these return visits are simply for regular servicing!

Thanks for your work and your approach Dale, I really do appreciate it. A pleasure to do business with you.

Nick

Just to continue this thread with yet more positive feedback on Dale and Prestige Autoworks!

It is amazing that Dale is like a one stop shop for all our cars, I booked my car in for a service but ended up asking Dale to help changing the suspensions on my 25 year old Toyota Supra as well (bought just before Christmas because I was home alone and misus was not there to stop me!).

So, Dale ended up working on the supra as well as my Stradale, and his attention to details was as good as ever, showing me a few minor issues that I will address when I can find some time slots in his schedule!

Final point, and most importantly, I used to think that it is better to preserve this “full main dealer service history”, not anymore! I have heard of stories where dealer charged for replacing an item but work was never carried out.

Dale showed me the state of the transmission oil, very dirty with lots of metallic particles, having checked the record of the last main dealer service, which was less than 4000 miles ago. The service record clearly stated that transmission oil was replaced, but the state of the oil means that it could not have been replaced just 4000 miles ago. The dealer was really just taking a p*ss, making profit on something that was not carried out is one thing, but damaging the gear box of my car due to oil not been changed is just unforgivable ! So, Maserati dealership has just lost another customer - although I know that there are very decent dealerships out there, I much prefer facing the person who does work on my car and owns the business.

Anyway, thanks again for the excellent service and advice, I know that it will just get harder and harder to make a booking with you...

See you soon-ish Dale, for the other minor issues you have identified, I am a bit OCD when it comes to my cars.

Thanks again for the outstanding service again !

Great to be reading.
I was proud as you can imagine as a Maserati owner and a technician getting a job with them.
I was even prouder when I left after what I witnessed.

I have Dale coming to sort rid my GTS of its Italian electrical gremlins, change the oils and the R 1 buttons and have high expectations. If he has the appetite for it he can have a go an tuning the Weber’s on my Mustang o_O

Hadn't got round to posting, but I decided to use Dale for a Pre-purchase inspection a week or so ago on a car that was for sale in his working area.
I travelled and viewed the car myself prior to contacting him, but it wasn't the best of days weather wise and getting a good look underneath isn't easy without jacks etc. There was also a couple of items I had noticed that I thought it best to get looked at by someone 'in the know'.
I received a thorough report from Dale, along with some pictures and recommendations for a reasonable price.
I may well use him for servicing in the future, if something can be arranged, as I'm well out of his usual working radius.

Anyway, if your looking at a car in the west london area, give him a shout for a PPI. :thumb3:

Thank you Dale for some great work on my Trofeo. A super quick diagnosis of the problems and fast fix there and then too. He also left me with instructions on a couple of jobs for me to get on with myself on this project car, happy days.
Thoroughly recommended and the mobile aspect is fantastic

Had Dale come out to fit an X- Pipe to my QP. Second time I’ve asked Dale to work on him, always really cheerful, helpful and hard working.

Enjoyed hearing about your Trofeo Stuart W!

Thanks Dale, he is sounding brilliant.

Dale out today for a service and health check on the QP GTS, pleased to report it got a clean bill of health, so all good for when Covid-19 restrictions lifted.

Thanks Dale for coming up to Hertfordshire, mobile servicing brilliant

Dale has been visiting and done a fantastic job replacing my suspension bushes. The car drives like new again & i didn't even have to leave the house as all done on the driveway. Fantastic job and nice guy too, lots of knowledge about the Maserati & had a good look around while he was hanging around in the wheel arches and no gremlins to report so that's a relief. If you need any work doing or servicing i would highly recommend Dale https://www.prestigeautoworks.co.uk/
I will most certainly be using him for any work or servicing needed in the future.
Cheers Dale :cool:
