Elmswood did a load of work for me at short notice to get Tamy MOT'd and track ready following Samy's remodelling. Only downside is despite being relatively close as the crow flies they are a ball ache to get to on public transport. This applies to most of the specialists though.
Not used Dan Taylor. Although they need to sort this out on the Gredge pretty sharpish - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... - following their rebuilb of the front section of bodywork. I've no doubt they will though.

Hi Nick
I have used both (Dan Taylor for my S2 & Chimaera ,Elmwood for my S2)
I would say they are both as good as each other with regards to standard of work and service ,it depends on your location and if you need to get the train back once you have dropped your car off (Dan will take you to his local station ,not sure about Elmwood)
You can pm if you need more details

I've used Dan Taylor too when it was down there for paint work at RSC Body Craft. Seemed to do a good job mostly, only niggle was I had a new alloy rad put in and they left the old one in there too with the new one bolted behind it. Is that normal?
I suspect what you think is the old radiator is actually the aircon rad which sits in front of the one for the water. There isn't physically room to leave the old radiator in there too!Their proximity to a railway station is only helpful if you live along the line(s) that station serves. I live very close to Elmswood as the crow flies, but it's a minimum 90-minute journey on public transport (bus or rail). Indeed, it took me two and a half hours when I left to collect Tamy.
As I said, the same is likely to apply to all specialists to certain extent. Just because something is in London doesn't make it easy or quick to get to or from.

Well this isn't likely to help then:mk1fan said:
Elmwood do offer to drop you at the nearest railway station too.
But yes, I have the same issue. It's great if I drop off and pick up when going to and from work, but if I need to get back home it's pretty useless so I dismantle my bike, put it in the boot and cycle back.
