My puma is just coming up for its first service since I bought it earlier this year. I seem to have a choice of 2 local Ford dealers.

Cheltenham - Bristol Street Motors
or
Evesham - Brooklyn

Does anyone have anything good or bad to report about either of these?

many thanks

David

How about a decent independant in Stroud ? Would be a lot less than Â£80 per hour...

Turby - Thanks for the reply.
Sounds good. Got the details?
I'm up in the North Cotswolds near Broadway, but sounds like it might be worth a visit.

Why not jump on the M5 and pop up to Pumabuild, I recommend them, as will anybody on this site who has had work done by them.

I go there from Chippenham............. :!: Others from MUCH further away also use them.

Good luck

I was at Pumabuild on Saturday, from North London.

Worth going, just to be sure you're not being ripped off.

Pumabuild - they know the car better willgive you better service and more importantly a good laugh!!!!!!!!!

Better than taking it to fraud and having a 16 year old looking at wonderment at all the metal bits under the bonnet and not having a clue what they do!

I speak from experience - had a common puma fault - core plugs and took it to fraud 4 times and they still couldn't identify the problem - Pumabuild would of spotted it first time in 30 seconds!

Worth the jorney!
