Daveb99 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Just had my S1 Sport 160 serviced and MOT'd by Jon at Legacy Storm in Leicester. Big thumbs up from me - great price, brilliant service, really professional from start to finish. He took great care of the car which fits well with my somewhat obsessive tendencies, and also fixed my gearshift, which had stopped re-centering in the gate, it now feels like new (or probably better than new). It is very clear that Jon has a huge amount of Lotus experience (20 yrs+) and really knows his stuff. He is well located in Leicester - 10 minute walk from City Centre/High Cross, with free Wi-Fi everywhere so I was able to do my job at the same time! In case you weren't aware, Jon is ex-Stratstone Lotus (previously Storm), and was there a long time. When they recently went into administration, Jon set up his own specialist business. To clarify - I have no connection with Jon and hadn't met him before today! So we are now spoilt for choice for very good independent specialists in the Midlands Thanks Jon - top job Edited March 19, 2015 by Daveb99 1 Quote
Daveb99 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Quite surprised there have been 120 views of this and no reply yet, I remember reading the original thread when Stratstones went under and quite a few people seem to know Jon. Quote
chumaxa Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I have done the same post a month ago with the same feedback Quote
AdamJ Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I'll be giving them a try when I need a service unless anyone can suggest somewhere better? Quote
cjwjames Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 ADAMJ depends where you live GAV @ Unit 4 is also well recommended on this forum Quote
richbk Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 We are very lucky within mloc to have such good choice of independent garages and mechanics. Over my time on mloc - 10 yrs this summer various people have been the " flavour of the month" From horizon/ sports car services, to top gear automotive and Unit 4 And all appear to offer, knowledge, passion, competitive prices and a personalised service to elavate them above the Main dealers and are recognised as such when service histories are listed when selling on our cars I certainly take notice of folks comments when deciding where to take my car so the more reviews the better for me so keep the recommendations coming.

chumaxa Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 You forgot to mention that Jon offers some very very good price also for the service And it useful that you can just organize your travel and stay/wait while he does the job. Quote
r339xjw Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 john is a top bloke i worked with him for many years at stratstone , he really knows his way round a lotus and can do things on a lotus even "lotus"said were not possible lol Quote
Robo Elise Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Jon serviced my Elise this morning. First time since he went on his own after Stratstone closed. He has serviced it for the last 4 years though and I can highly recommend him. He certainly knows his way around a Lotus. Had another couple of cars in as well so word is getting round. Keep up the good work Jon :-) Quote

Winners Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Hi John. I have an old Esprit S1 that I am looking for someone who knows what they're doing. Is that too old? Quote
