I have a DS3 (2014) which is due a service but I'm struggling to find a Citroen or French Car specialist in the Dorset / Bournemouth / Pool area.
There are obviously a number of main dealers but I was hoping for an independent who knows his was around a Citroen rather than a generalist, if anyone has a recommendation I would be very grateful.
Dorset Citroen Specialist?

Essanjay 35 Willis Way, Poole BH15 3SZ 01202 672057 (I haven't used them so have no opinion if they're any good or not).
Dory's Garage 9 Station Rd, Sway, Lymington SO41 6BA 01590 683432 who I've used twice - they're cheap and cheerful.

Re: Dorset Citroen Specialist?
Thanks Mike, I looked at Essanjay but from their website they seemed to be more of a motorhome specialist, unless you know different?
Dory's is a really good shout I had not come across those in my searches online, thanks for the tip.

Although Poole, they're a different address.

Thanks Mike, that looks like a better site, I must have kept stumbling across their other motor home site.

When I had my previous C5 I towed my caravan to a site down the same lane as Dory's Garage is in. Whilst I was there my engine suddenly started running badly. I took it to Dory's and left it with them for a few hours. They eventually called me and said they had discovered water in the fuel. With the tank removed, drained and replaced, I had no more bother. I had filled up with diesel at a nearby Tesco the day before. I got the impression the guys working at Dory's knew what they were about.

Re: Dorset Citroen Specialist?
I took it to Dory's in the end and could not speak highly enough of them. The service was completed at what I considered to be a fair price, I asked them about some timing issues and rather than fishing for extra work they said they had spotted them and just to keep an eye on them. I would definitely recommend, thanks for the tip guys.
