I readily recommend Shipham Motor Company. They’re an hour from Yeovil but are superb. I’ve had excellent service at a very reasonable price. The S60 D5 courtesy car was great.
Alternatively you could try Formula Cars in Wellington near Taunton. I used them once but felt I’d paid well over the odds for fag breaks.

Thank you for the recommendation. They sound good but probably a bit too far as my friend is South east of Yeovil.

Another recommendation for Shipham Motor company here. Very knowledgeable guys there.
I found the main dealer in Poole quite good in November as well to be fair.

Scratch my recommendation for Formula Cars in Wellington! I replaced my cabin filter today and found the old Mann filter that I fitted last January despite them billing me over £50 + labour for a genuine Volvo part during my Service in September. The guy who answered the phone today didn’t want to know as “Service is closed until Monday!”
