Dealer recommendation

[slmorgan42]

Hi all,

I’m based in London (N16) and I’m looking for some advice on MG dealers.

I used to use Chiswick MG, which was about an hour’s drive for me, but I always found their sales and service to be reliable. Unfortunately, they’ve now shut down their MG division.

I’d previously tried Glyn Hopkin Romford, but didn’t have the best experience there, so I’m hoping someone might be able to recommend a good dealer within roughly an hour’s drive from me.

I know there’s a dealer section on the forum, but as this is more of a general question I wasn’t quite sure where best to post it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

These are the ones ChatGPT says are an hour from me. Any recent experiences on these.

Name​	Address / Area​	Notes / Services​	Approx. suitability​
Glyn Hopkin MG East London	1021 Romford Road, E12 5LH	Full MG servicing / parts.Â	Likely one of the closer good options
Glyn Hopkin (MG network: East London, Chelmsford, Cambridge, St Albans)	Various	They have dedicated MG service centres in multiple locations.Â	Choose whichever is within your travel range
WLMG (Middlesex & London)	Eastcote & London area	MG servicing & parts work.Â	Could be a useful option depending on direction
Ancaster Group MG (London / Surrey)	Eltham, Bromley, Penge, South Croydon	After-sales / servicing for MG in their network.Â	Might be slightly further but worth considering
Wilsons MG (Epsom, Surrey)	Weston Road, Kiln Lane, Epsom, KT17 1JG	MG service & parts department.Â	Depending on traffic this may be close to your 1-hour limit
Dees of Croydon (MG Service)	2 Imperial Way, Croydon, CR0

I haven't used them, but others on here seem to recommend Colchester. Sounds a long way (up M11, across A120), but guess it's not much more than an hour from you?

I will keep them in mind but starting to get close to 2 hours. lol maybe they have a good greasy spoon cate near by.

If you only needs serving, Perkins in Braintree are (were) brilliant. They did also once sell MG'S, but not enough, according to MG.

Ah! Looks like N16 isn't as near the M11 as I thought.

Thanks do they still have ability to access MG resources, do software updates and warranty repairs?

Last time I used them yes. Call them just to confirm.
