Car service - where's best?

Hi

I have a Dodge Claiber, now about 4 years old. Usually i get it serviced at the Dodge dealer but am thinking about trying elsewhere for better customer service and saving a few quid.

Does it really make any difference when I come to sell the car if it hasn't been serviced by Dodge approved garage?

Any recommendations for trustworthy service garages? I am in Surrey but there are some national ones eg "prestige car servicing"

anyone any experience with these?

    Ask around and find out who people use. You may find out that the dealership is cheaper than independants when the car is serviced to the manufacturers specifications.

    As above but it also might pay to search for the parts (perhaps EBay) yourself as any indepedent might (but check) have to source their parts from Chrysler and they are not cheap!!!
