My first TVR - where can I get it serviced and MOT'd?

[Holti]

Hi there,
Just bought a Chimaera 4 litre and wondered if anyone knows of somewhere or someone reasonably local that does TVR servicing and MOTs. I live in Shropshire. Ironbridge to be precise. I've heard rumours that there is an ex-TVR mechanic in Shrewsbury, is this correct? Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

Drop an mail to Quinny (Andy) on here - he's somewhere near you.
MOT should be anywhere really.

I know it's not round the corner but Ian at Middlewich is worth the trek on price and quality, you can even get servicing while you wait at 1o/c in the morning if my experiance of paying him a visit is anything to go by.

Second that, I find it worth going up the M6 to see Ian, his place looks fantastic at 3 in the morning

Go and see Uncle Adrian at Central TVR at Stourbridge. Top bloke and brilliant set-up with years of experience, prices aren't too shabby either!

Agree....but the man needs to sleep.....!


Or we may sleep forever. Top geezer, pay Ian a visit. It`ll be a nice drive for your motor, too.

Would that be from the updated kitchen facilities then? If you can beef-up the catering we could run timed laps around the ind est on the moto's I'll take my chances on the yellow one accompanied by the NOS bottle

In that kitchen I can do a 5* dinner, as long as it can go in the microwave or in the toastie machine

Ahem, 0.25 of a second seperated thee and me, so dont get too cocky me young lad. I'll have you next time.

Anyone got any suggestions for a Service somewhere a little further south? I have rung a few places on the Chim Pages website, and there seems to be a massive variation in pricing.. like 30%.

Through love of the car I 'tinkered' with it after getting it (post 12k service at TVR garage in north London), both the gearbox oil and the water system were nearly empty.!!! Both ok (have had them checked) but am pretty concerned about getting screwed over by shoddy players.

Any thoughts.. please!?!?!

I use TopGear Automotive M54 J2, so very near to you. Can't beat them on service and price, highly recommended.
