Servicing and diagnostics

Hello all, new member here. I'm importing my Hennessey ZL1 Camaro (C6 LS7 block) from Saudi Arabia to the British Isles and I'm interested in finding a recommended servicing and repair company.
My car has a bad habit of occasionally going into 'limp' mode and I would like it sorted out.
I'm based on the Isle of man so NW England is most convenient for me but anywhere in the UK is OK if necessary.
Car tax included! This was shot across the bridge at a service company in Bahrain.
Thanks for any advice!

Doubt there's anyone on the island to do this. Some stuff can be DIY'ed , I suppose, like oil changes , brakes and whatnot. As regards a proper expert setup , I think you'd not go far wrong with Parts U.S.A. , in Bredbury , near Stockport, they're authorised GM techs, likely the only one in the country , and not too much of a bind as regards distance. Once the Steam-Packet have had their slice of ya ! Be warned, though , being the best , they're terribly booked up , so give 'em lots of notice. Not cheap , but what is these days? Only me ! Gotta love those late-model Camaros , out of the recent crop of musclecar re-pops, they are far and away the most faithful inmterpretation. And a ZL -1..........Hell-fire !! Hope you enjoy having it on the island, I bet the gas prices there are even more whacko than usual these days, I used to cringe when fuelling my boat at the Shell in Port Erin , but that was 15 years ago now. That particular fibreglass money pit got replaced with a 'Vette. Not at all a fibreglass money pit ! I'm now on my second one from then. That's how they get ya........

Thanks for the update!
I'll try the Parts USA guys as recommended.
Yeah, I really like the new crop of muscle cars. I rented a few in the States before I made my choice - I liked the Challenger but the handling wasn't so great. It rolled like a boat!
Settled on the Camaro instead. I'm looking forward to giving it a workout on some of the islands roads eventually - out of town they are unrestricted speed limits for cars so can air out the twin turbos!
