We always believe a thorough post-purchase inspection is a worthwhile starting point when buying a specialist performance car. It allows us to establish a clear picture of its condition and create a sensible maintenance plan around the car and its owner’s requirements.

Keeping these modern classics where they belong. 🏁

🔧 S55 EXHAUST CAMSHAFT ALIGNMENT — GETTING THE DETAILS RIGHT

Another S55 in with us at Spartan Automotive for precise exhaust camshaft alignment.
