Well, my local for the last nearly14 years is shutting up shop, so I need another place in Essex to get my old girl serviced.
Can anyone recommend somewhere in north Essex.

Thanks.

never used them, but must be a shame for them to just close, rather than sell it on, in the current market you'd have thought a buyer could be found ?

Obviously! I dont know the details, but how come it is closing? Why not sell it as an ongoing business?

One of the brothers (Ken or Alan) has retired and that would leave Harvey and the other brother to run it, which I don't think they wanted to do together. Harvey may go his own way if the rumour mill is correct.

Hi this is my first post prompted by the changes at Autostrasse who have looked after my 964 since 2007. I rang in late March and was told they would not take any more work and intended to close on the 1st April. I rang a week later with an enquiry and was then told that they are not closing and they
were happy to service my car on the 16th April which I booked. I went past last night and looked though
the windows and cars seem to be being worked on. Does anyone know for sure that the guys or some of them are continuing with the business?

Thanks Gents

I would never close a business to loyal customers without giving plenty of notice and thanking them for supporting us over the years

I was told that Alan had left the building, just finding out the score that's all.
