[nagasakitvr]

Having been overseas for the last 18 months, need to unmothball the S and get back on the road for the summer. Has anybody got a contact email or suggestion for where to get it done in Hampshire area. Have used the Garage nr Godalming before, but be damed if I can find an address to get it booked in before I get home, not a moment to lose once the suns out

Can't argue with Pies' choices, though you should add Magic Castle - also Gatwick area

I've never used him myself, but I've heard good things about Andy at APM Automotive in Passfield (near Liphook). Basically just M27 and A3 for you.

His number's 01420 473931.

excellant. Very impressed.

Another one with great reputation.

All these people, especially the small outfits who give the best service (IMHO), are going to be in demand though.

Apart from my (tongue-in-cheek) comments, as ever, about demands, it's worth planning ahead wherever possible. Not always easy when the situation is an "unexpected TVR characteristic", I know. But for full service and the major planned works I like to try and ask for timeslots up to a month ahead so that the garage can be well planned.

I also find it useful to send (or e-mail) any specific points ahead of regular service, rather than just turn up with a long list! I try anyway!
