.Just had my car serviced by Gerald Turner ( Lotus Specialist ) at GST Performance. What a pleasure it is to have someone who really does know the car inside out, & goes out of his way to sort all the little niggles out for you. Thoroughly recomend. Phone 01638 661144 /07788 140750

Well rang SJSportscars for some spares, they were helpful & polite, said they could get the spares, but would take 10 days!!!. So rang Gerald Turner at GST Performance wednesday morning, & the parts arrived this morning, what more can i say ?

Thought you might be feeling lonely on this thread Paul ?

I presume Gerald does everything for free for you given all the advertising you are doing for him :lol:

Not lonely Gary, Dave T's got his car there at the moment, he's gonna post his views when the works done.
I don't consider that i am advertising, just saying what ive seen & experienced from different Lotus dealers around the country. Ive had brakes done & they came back with O rings missing, & you Gary have seen the standard of others work when you bought the red car. I think that a garage that offers as good a service as GST should be supported by us where possible !

Paul,

Did you mean Dave T or did you mean Dave me? :?

Subject to GST receiving a water pump that's somewhere between Lotus & Newmarket I should be able to give GST ( and you :wink: ) some support at the weekend.

Paul,
Was only winding you up. After all we all know who recommended GST to you in the first place :wink:

As you say I've seen evidence of some well dodgy work done by a highly respected Lotus dealer, and never had a complaint about GST.

Picked the car up this morning and brought it home top down in the sunsine although not very warm - only second time out since October! Gerald had it for 2 weeks (most of which was waiting for parts) and I have to say I'm impressed with what he has done and the care and attention he has shown. Excellent service and customer consideration. Needless to say I would take it back to GST without hesitation if/when required.

:D

Just had the car back after it was serviced at GST Performance with a B + C service.

I must say that the car is running beautifully and can confirm those sentiments made previously in this thread that it nice to have found a genuine person who shows so much care for both the customers and their cars.

Gerald is a genuine guy and I would recommend anybody to use GST Performance.

Thanks Gerald I shall be bringing my car back as and when !!

Cheers,
Nobby

There are at least half a dozen Esprit owners over on LEF (myself included) who wouldn't entrust their cars to anyone else... and the number's growing all the time.

Every time I or one of Gerald's other LEF disciples send someone along to him for the first time they invariably come back with the same comments - " breath of fresh air; so knowledgeable; exceptionally helpful; genuine; honest; a true gentleman; lovely bloke; won't go anywhere else now".

Need I say more?
