Default Service + MOT on Cosworth in Essex - Where should I take it?

My Escort RS Cosworth is due for an MOT and I was thinking that I'd get a full service done at the same time but where should I take it?

Are there any Ford dealerships in Essex that specialise in these types of cars?

Or any Ford dealerships that are known for caring for and doing a good job on Cosworths?

All advice appreciated.

I wouldn't take any ford to a ford dealership for a service!!

Field Motorsport is round the corner from a Ford dealership so you could get them to service it then MOT at Fords??

I thought it would be better if it was a Ford stamp in the service book but I was worried that they wouldn't do that great a job.

Spoke to Mark at Grove Garage yesterday and it's all booked in for a full service and MOT.

He seems like a really nice guy and he asked me lots of questions about the car which was good. I now feel comfortable about taking it there which makes a change as normally I hate taking it anywhere!

Thanks for the recommendation guys.
