Recommend me a Ford dealer in/near Colchester?

Last summer we bought a 1 year old Mondeo (April 2010 registered), so it's still under warranty.

While I know we don't have to have it main dealer serviced during the warranty period, I want to as I think the main dealer stamps for the first few years probably look better on the service history if we ever sell it.

Can anyone recommend a Ford main dealer in the area for servicing? We bought the car from Underwoods in Tiptree who seemed nice enough but I wondered if anyone had experience with Lookers in Colchester as it's closer.

Last question - a general one - if the main dealer services it and says it needs work doing, will they stamp the service history before completing the work? My preference if they say work is needed would be to take it to another garage for a second opinion and probably to have the work done depending on the quotes...
