A friend has a very late Seraph, and the electrics are fried. A short that has taken a lot with it.

Two people who "know about cars" have made it worse.

Can anyone recommend a good indie who can give it the right TLC?

If your desrciption of "Fried" electrics that have "taken a lot with it" is accurate it suggests the car is probably a write off.

This is an open ended repair where one problem will have to be fixed before systems can be checked to see what else may have been damaged. Repair costs could quickly escalate. No repairer likes to take on the failed attempts of others.

It's almost certainly far easier to calculate its salvage value.

As before, the extent of the damage needs to be known.

I often do re wires, and usually it is the correction of others bodges! Main problem will be how many ecu's are gone. That is the big killer. wiring itself isn't such a big deal in my experience.

What do you mean by "fried"? Be interested to know!
