Lotus Dealership Repair Options

Buying a Lotus is like buying a piece of history that puts you directly in line with a legacy of legendary British sports cars that go all the way back to Colin Chapman, Lotus Engineering and the old Royal Air Force base RAF Hethel, in Norwich, UK. Today’s thoroughly modern Lotus cars still require regularly scheduled service so it’s always a good idea to seek an authorized dealer for repairs. These franchises have the latest service bulletins and other advisories as issued by the manufacturer.

In the case of a Lotus Car on lease, it is also advisable to use Lotus original equipment parts when making the car whole again. Aftermarket parts tend to severely degrade the value of the vehicle, which negates any perceived value that may have resulted in using them.
