Title: Any recos for Littlewick Green (Maidenhead) or Eden (Basingstoke)?
Post by: zippy_6 on August 03, 2016, 06:59:10 pm
These are my nearest Mazda Service Centres. Does any forum user have positive or negative feedback on either, please?

Also, neither is really close. What are your thoughts about non-franchise servicing. The car is 2.2D SE-L Nav with 43k on the clock.

For the record, I went to Littlewick Green - mainly out of convenience to begin with, but partly because I found Eden too impersonal to deal with on the phone; they didn't really seem interested, which is not a good sign from the outset.
On the whole, I'm satisfied with LWG. They seem happy to talk through exactly what's wrong and there's no pressure to get the remedial work done through themselves. Their prices represent their Mazda Approved status, but I found that they looked at the DSR and did just the amount of work necessary for the last major service, which reduced the cost for me. As with most franchise garages, there is an element "this is how we do it" if you query their findings (in my case the AA report said one thing and LWG said another), but not in a massively arrogant way.
