If you’re lucky enough to drive a Lotus, you’ll already know what a special vehicle it is, thanks to its lightweight design, exceptional handling and agility plus the raw, authentic driving experience provided. Then there’s the marque’s long, proud history in motorsport: Lotus Engineering Ltd was established back in 1952, although founder Colin Chapman had built the first trial models in his garage four years earlier.
So when it comes to having your car serviced, you need to have significant confidence that whoever you’ve asked to do it will do the best possible job. And there are some very tangible benefits to using a trusted supplier:
Specialist knowledge and expertise
You want your treasured Lotus to be in the hands of someone who has the training, skills and experience this brand needs. The vehicles’ light chassis, performance brakes and mid-engine set-ups which are typical to these models are specific features requiring specialist expertise which not every garage has.
Specialist tools and diagnostics
Only an experienced Lotus professional will have the most appropriate and latest, specialist diagnostic equipment for the most accurate and speediest identification of any faults and therefore the highest quality of servicing.
Protecting your warranty
If you use a trusted provider to service your Lotus, you’ll have the reassurance of knowing you won’t be voiding the manufacturer’s warranty, thanks to regulations such as the Block Exemption rule, which allows independent garages to service and repair vehicles without affecting the manufacturer’s guarantee.
A better servicing history
A strong record of professional services from trusted suppliers specialising in Lotus cars only enhances the vehicle's service history, which can be invaluable if and when you decide that it’s time to sell your motor.
Peace of mind
This is something you really can’t put a price on. Use a trusted supplier for a professional service and you enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that the work has been done properly, and by professionals who remain genuinely committed to the quality of their work and customer service excellence, and who really care about your Lotus and about what they do.
Parts of the highest quality
You need a supplier who will stick to genuine Lotus parts or at least a high-quality equivalent. This not only ensures the integrity and performance of your vehicle, but will mean you’re exclusively fitting parts which meet the precise specifications of your car in a way no substitute can.
