Default ETX Service

Our astronomical society has just purchased a new Meade ETX telescope
for use at star parties etc, and having compared it to my own model (now
3 or 4 years old) I realised mine was in need of a service, or a
tune-up. I have heard of several companies offering this type of service
in the US, but is there anyone who does it here in the UK?

Yes - Telescope House/ BCF Ltd Tonbridge Kent - the UK main Mead
dealer/importer - did while-you-wait service on my LX200 yesterday.

I thought they might - I just cant find any information on their website
about it.
