Don't know how many valves needed adjusting but they said the price for an inspection 2 and valves will be around £750 which i didn't think was too bad.
Also picked up some rear wheel bearings for £88 while i was down there from ECP.
Ask for a report sheet of clearance before and after adjustments.

Fyi these guys did a valve clearance check on mine and adjusted one, although they couldn't tell me any before or after measurements; just that they are within spec.

I'll be honest I didn't get a great feeling from the guys (plus they left the bodywork covered in grease/oil) and it won't be going back there again - I'll take it elsewhere in future.

That's interesting because mine also had oily fingerprints on the front wings a bonnet when it was serviced earlier this year. I can't fault the service they did, but the fingerprints are enough to put me off using them again.

That's pretty much my thoughts, I don't doubt the work they've done under the bonnet is correct and well-done, they get a lot of praise in general, but they don't seem to treat the vehicles they service with much care externally. I understand they don't have a formal cleaning/valet service in place, I don't expect them to either, however general cleanliness and care is expected; and they underperform on that count.

Small update. As I've mentioned previously, I've recently had an insp2 done there. Was told 10 valves needed adjusting but couldn't give me the figures. On a good note, recently found out that there was a small leak from rocker cover so they replaced it for free a couple of months later. Still unsure about the place though to be honest.
