Just been reading some glowing reviews about Torque rvt up in the north west, but there must be a quality independant in the south east who has the same level of experience/pride in his work. Specifically I'm now looking for suspension set up and some engine work.
If anyone has some suggestions could you also give some description of works carried out? John

More East Anglia but I won't go anywhere else now. www.sebringinternational.co.uk
Matt is ex brundle TVR and is really passionate about the marque. I also know a number of S6 guys who won't trust their cars to anyone else.

Another vote here, after managing to sort out my car for a fraction of what I'd be quoted elsewhere. In with that he got it through the MOT and finished the 12k service. It now drives like a dream.

He tells you how it is and does the job properly and methodically, rather than giving you the most expensive option without consideration and hoping you'll pay based on reputation as some others seem to do.

All of the indies in the Surrey area are a safe pair of hands as far as I'm concerned. I'm gonna sit on the fence here and say I would happily take my car to Austec, APM, David Batty or TVR Fix.

I always got a great service from Austec.

They pulled out the stops when I had sold my chim & subsequently walloped the front on a pheasant.

I used Andy at APM for my 12k recently.
Top service, no bulls**t and realistic rates.
Showed me the car on the hoist, told me what needed fixing and did it.
No mess, no fuss.
