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

Thanks for that. I read it and it appeared a little general along the lines of ...these are good guys... ...should be OK... that sort of discussion I need to spend quite a bit of money so just wanting some real experiences of the service. Thanks again.

ANDY T. Thanks for that,I was going to use Strasse at Leeds but only because that would appear to be the thing to do. I think in view of your comments I'll try these boys. OPC Sheffield! any relationship/potential relationship with them is dead in the water.

Gary. Sold me a very shabby boxster then expected me to take an 11 grand drop eleven months later to change for a brand new one.

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.
