MILLBROOK CARS SHEFFIELD
Discussion
Am considering having some steering and suspension work done here. Have just been to look and found it a little off putting. Mucky little back street unit that claims to be specialists in Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Porsche. I am aware that looks can be deceiving and that they have featured briefly on here before can anybody give me some real life experience of work done by them and would you recommend them please
My car is there at the moment and I have to say so far they've been spot on! They all used to work at Porsche Sheffield and seem to know their stuff. They are very thorough and professional, they call when they say they're gonna etc. I'll let you know what the final results are when I pick my car back up this week sometime (having to rely on another garage to get the gearbox back to them, long story which involves warranty and original garage sending it to some "gearbox specialist" that nobodys ever heard of) but I'm glad my car's being looked over by these guys as I don't think they'll let the car go unless it's been properly done.
I'd be tempted to give em a try, what are your other options, Porsche sheffield? hmm...

I have a 996, and just had it serviced by Millbrook. These guys are outstanding and the reason I went with them is that they are all Porsche trained and have just left Porsche - so they know their stuff. I must say that the garage is immaculate with brand new equipment throughout, and they all wear millbrook uniform. (Maybe your expectations of a working garage are different to mine!) I dealt with Gary and he really impressed me with his knowledge and approach to my car. I would highly recommend these guys over ANY independent in the local area where I have not been impressed by their customer care (or lack of it). Thank goodness that Millbrook have set up - I can drive past OPC sheffield, and leave my car with these boys for less than half the price and double the service standard - Oh Joy!!
I did take the car to Millbrook. It had a terrible groaning coming from front end. Vehicle in question is my wifes boxster with 41,000m.
Diagnosed as both control arms worn. They could do the work immediately "would you like to leave it with us sir?" booked in next morning. given a quote of £100 per part and labour between £100 -£150. I also told them that as there was wear in front suspension/steering they should check rear with a view to seeing if anything needed doing.
Vehicle collected same day with work completed as stated. Bill as follows
Parts £198 (two control arms)
Labour£120 (to fit arms)
Labour£000 (to check rear suspension - given clean bill of health)
I went to pay by debit card was told that they were not rigged for cards yet. I offered to go for some cash to be told don't bother take the car and drop it in when you're passing.
Vehicle washed and valeted immaculately!
On this evidence, Top Boys. I will definitely use them again.

I can thoroughly recommend Millbrook, they changed my discs and pads on my Boxster S recently along with a couple of other minor jobs, they provided a very quick, professional service that was far more reasonable than the quotes I'd gathered from other specialists and OPC's (which are always much higher of course!)
They are just the type of garage that we have needed in the South Yorkshire area.
Keep up the good work guys!!
