Hi all, Mrs Grumbledoak here, in need of some help. Mr Grumbledoak's first love is in need of a trim specialist, and in the season of giving etc, I'm trying to get it fixed for Christmas. Thing is, I've had one place recommended to me by the garage, but that is in Swindon (and living in central London (SE1), that's not exactly the easiest place to drop the car off before work) so has anyone got any suggestions on where I can take her? Any help is most appreciated...

Be interested too. The carpet by the passenger door is looking a bit ragged and needs re-doing. I've seen some adverts in Sprint but a recommendation is always good.

Try Blackmores in Ashtead, Surrey - near J9 of the M25.

I have spoken to Paul Blackmore several times, hes a really nice guy & is very keen to look after us all.

I have his brochure & it looks very good - they dont have a website yet but you can call them on 01372 272222

Hope this helps - let me know how you get on.

I used John Taylor at Larkfield, Kent (just off junction 4 of the M20) when I had the Wedge re-trimmed. Did it all in leather and edged the carpets etc as well. Made a really nice job of it. Also does the trimming for Waldonway TVR. Give him a bell on 01732 840653.

Good luck,

Mick

Sorry I can't recommend someone but can I ask the name of the place in Swindon - that's just down the road from me...

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks for all your responses, Mr Grumbledoak will be v happy! David Hendry motors recommended TA & JM Coburn in Blunsdon, SWINDON, 01793-721501 and although I didn't end up using them, they were really helpful on the phone...
