A Decade of Lotus Specialism

In 2016, Jonny founded Performance Autocare. A Lotus Specialist Technician with over 15 years' experience with the brand, he set out to raise the bar for what a specialist should be. Today, that means servicing, restorations, performance builds and track-side support for Lotus owners across the North.

    Daniel T.S3 Exige owner
  • “Jonny was a joy to deal with he kept me fully informed with messages and photos of the whole process of stripping and removing the gearbox from my Evora… Fantastic service, knowledgeable, friendly, competitive.”

    Mark T.Evora owner
