Like most on this post I am very happy with Research after taking my APE in for first oil / filter change plus warrenty work. Mark the service manager couldn't have been more helpful. I had a non-opening dash 'loose change' box fixed, no air from LH dash vents fixed plus a strange problem with gears which is under reveiew. Once or twice on a 20 / 30 mile journey whilst changing down from 5th to 4th there is no resistance and the gear engages too quickly with a crunch. Mark test drove but of course it didn't do it! Also stop / start erratic which is now spot on. They valeted the car beautifully so all in all I'm well pleased

i should have done this ages ago but forgot :p

brought my second hand AGP from ian and ben about 2 months ago, got great service, car wash checked over and found to have rusted exhaust and the two front tyres were shreded, both were fixed under warranty car was serviced and valeted ect.

The had sold the car to its first owner so was good to know full history.

Also were great and let me test drive it (Im 19) so that was cool.

the only down side was that the car had to go back in the day after i had picked it up as it wasn't boosting and the engine management light came on, and had use of the awfull 1.2 punto evo i do about 70 miles a day on mway and a roads used loads of fuel ect
Turned out it was the dump valve all was fixed but was a bit annoyed as i though the car would have been tested before i had brought it. And when i got it back they had used about 1/4 of a tank, and it had cost me to get to the garage both ways (the evo was empty) about a 40 mile round trip

but other than that the service was 1st class

Excellent, attentive and personal service from all at Research, when buying new 500 esseesse, which was delivered today  . All staff seem to be genuine Abarth enthusiasts  . Will definately return for service and maintenance. This was one of my best car buying experiences - thanks.

Just taken my AGP to Research Garage for 36,000 mile service and MOT. It's the first time I've used them as I have a nearer garage in North Staffordshire, but Research undercut them on price so I thought I'd give them a go. Very pleased with the service I received. All staff pleasant and helpful. Offered to drop me off in Nuneaton while the work was carried out, but I said I'd walk, thanks. Left car with them at about 9.00- they called me at 2.30 to say was ready. All the work carried out was explained to me and they gave me a customer loyalty card with 10% off everything. They'd even washed the car ! From my experience I would recommend this garage to anyone. Very well done, Research. Only downside is the drive down from Stafford which was a little fraught and took about twice as long as AA Routefinder said it would. Mainly in the dark and with lots of big lorries, traffic queues and general congestion. I'll work on a different route next time.

Purchased "Norman" from Ben @ Research. Yes the Misses has fallen for it. Topnotch service all round. An absolute pleasure

Would just like to say a big thanks to Dean in the parts department.

I approached my local dealer for a price for some parts and was shocked when they quoted me £173 ex VAT.

Contacted Dean and was quoted a happy £168 inc VAT and shipping..

£40 saving on parts

Took the car to Research this week for a 18k mile service and MOT (car has only done 14k miles but warranty runs out in May so paid for a full service now).
The service cost was £350 and the MOT was free as I had a voucher for an MOT when buying the car from them from new.

No hidden costs. Really happy.

Cheers.

Just another praise for Research Garage, new service manager Gary has been great with my Koni problem and after chasing abarth etc' Ben and others have also been amazing as always, and Simon as usal doing a great job on my car, I am worried they all know me now to well now, but what a great team..
