Default Service near Lincoln?

Maybe me being thick but I have searched on here, Google and Yell and cant seem to find a Scooby specialist near Lincoln. Surely there must be someone round here, I used to go to NR Autosport with the Evo , where do you guys get yours serviced in this area.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks for all the help guys, heard about Carnetix and will definately be going to them for modifications, could have done with someone a bit more local just to sort out the servicing but looks like Lincs is a bit of a barren place if you have a Scooby.

Another one for Carnetix
I happily travel an hour each way to get to them as they are people that I can trust to look after my car.

Check LJP out at www.clubljp.co.uk, membership is £5 a year and it entitles you to 10% discount on labour at Carnetix, which more than covers your membership fee on your first visit.

Still need to do my membership Gaz! Must do it soon as will be having the Scoob serviced at Carnetix when I get back off my hols.

Do you take PayPal by any chance or is it cash/cheque only?
