TVR Ecosse or Dreadnought TVR?

[TVRGareth]

Hi guys
Anybody used tvr ecosse or dreadnought tvr? Any reviews?

[BertieMagnus]

Very curious about this question myself as Dreadnought is only 15 miles from me.

Garage I bought the car from (down in southern England) recommended HHC over anyone in Scotland though when I asked them an opinion...

Im Edinburgh based and use HHC. Have tried a number of garages up here over the years and have never found somewhere I am truly happy with to look after my Chim (inlcuding one of the subject garages, PM for details).

Richard at HHC is very helpful and willing to spend time to discuss through things on the phone if needs be. Yes the trip down there is a bit of a trek but if it's just once or possibly twice a year it's worth it (IMO).

I've booked my car to go in on saturday at HHC.
They get a lot a lot of good reviews so looks at though it will be in safe hands.

Can't rate them highly enough.

Out of Ecosse & Dreadnought though, Dreadnought are good.
Little pricey compared with XWorks though, I usually take on the drive for their work.

Dreadnought are excellent. Used them many times.

Hi Gareth, just interested to see how you got on with either of the above? My service is coming up and any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers

I've used both, and the car now always ends up at TVR Ecosse, run by a proper TVR fanatic!

[jamlee]

Thanks for the reply, that's good to know. Cheers

Just to add, I had no issues at Dreadnought, they carried out all the work that was asked.

Barry at TVR Ecosse comes across as passionate about the brand, and customer service. Cars always come back better than I expected.

Just a heads up Dreadnought no longer prepared to service my Tuscan which they have done for the last 12 years and other TVRs for 20 plus years they (Claire) even refused to talk to me! I have now booked it in for service at TVR Ecosse on 16/05/2022.

Did they not change ownership or something a while back? Pass through Callander now and again and there always used to be a TVR or two parked outside but not for the last few years. The petrol price there is always high now too. Used to be reasonably competitive.

I was there for my first visit for 4 wheel alignment around 6 weeks ago. Great service and really friendly & helpful.
Would be a shame if not doing any TVR work in the future.

Scottish TVR owners!
Hi I started My TVR working life in 1993,
After dealership work I started up my own TVR specialist In East Lothian.
Which I closed in 2007 as I went into the race car world full time..
Le mans, IMSA, World endurance championship..
Racing was fun but travel broke me and I retired from racing two years ago…
Since then I have another company but Ive also been doing some part time doing some TVR work in Scotland..
Ive got some limited capacity, I come to you and carry the work in your garage…
Ive enjoyed seeing old friends and cars I screwed the number plates on when it was new!
