I am lucky to have lakeside engineering only about 2 miles away from home. Tim services are legendary. Bought my first lotus 4 months ago and needed someone to have a look at the breaks after a track day. Tim was kind enough to accommodate me on very short notice. 5 stars!

Been using Lakeside for over 20 years to look after a series of Elises and a 996. Good advice and recommendations for tuning options and upgrades. Service has always been faultless and professional, to a point of turning down money I would have been ready to spend (NSF ball joint replaced, I suggested OSF as well - they said they don't fail in pairs. And they were right!). They even stayed open late on a Saturday to replace a failed distributor cap so I could get to a channel ferry. Wouldn't think of going elsewhere.

Just back from my first visit to Lakeside Engineering with our Exige. Very happy all round; car is back to its best and Tim was great to deal with. As a recent Lotus owner, it was fantastic to talk with someone so knowledgeable about these cars too.
