Who does everyone use for repairs etc?
Discussion
As someone who isn't the handiest when it comes to spannering it is crucial to have a garage I can trust to do work on my car to a good standard and in the timescale quoted etc.
With this in mind I'm intrigued to know who fellow Cerbera owners favour to do servicing and repairs etc on their pride and joy.

Depends on your location!?
Look locally for the one that is best for YOU ?
When I was South I used APM.
Now further North I use Raceproved.
Personally I would recommend both highly. I have yet to meet anyone who wouldnt recommend them.
There are many garages I wouldnt use or havent used but others like them. So I am afraid you kinda need to make your own mind up either through trial and error, through asking at meets, by visiting said garages and having a chat etc....

Sorry I meant to say location doesn't matter as I'm just interested to see who people favour and also to see if people favour different places for different type of work etc.Look locally for the one that is best for YOU ?

RaceProved in Sheffield.
They are passionate about TVR, proffessional, friendly, willing to talk about your requirements and talk through all aspects of the work with you, fantastic customer service - oh and top blokes too! I and many others have found that they always go the extra mile (or 5) to ensure that they give the best service possible, frequently doing other smaller jobs whilst working on your car without charging just to ensure that the car is as good as it can be.
They now have Joo as part of the team (ex JooSpeed and Track Car Solutions) who is a well regarded Cerbera specialist - I had previously used him when he was running his own TVR Performance business - he now conducts the tuning, performance work, etc as part of the RaceProved team.
I have used them for performance upgrades (lightweight flywheel, head work, induction), major servicing, minor "niggles", cosmetic stuff, chassis / waxoil, general upgrades (HID, pre-oiler), new clutch, and am now in discussions with regards to some prototype parts (watch this space) and also pretty much any aspect of maintaining or improving the car.
They now have a rolling road (and Joo!), a bodyshop in addition to their service bay.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
You should check out their open day / dyno day on the Saturday of the Chatsworth weekend (Sat 24th April) and make a weekend of it!

I have used about 6 or 7 places over the last 13 or so years...... I would stick by my recommendations above although I havent tried everywhere! Raceproved are a great mix of service, knowledge, passion and going the extra mile. For example :- My engine is out they notice stuff with the engine that other places (nameless) didnt notice with the engine, they change all the F1 panel bolts to tidy stuff up without asking or charging, they tell me every few days where they are up to, they take longer to take engine out and put it back in than quoted cos they want to take their time but they charge me the quoted amount, they invite me to their place for a free rolling road session on my birthday etc etc
As i'm out in the sticks, I use Scole Engineering.
Two brothers run it, and they're both enthusiasts. Rates are very reasonable, they spot plenty, and tell you whether it needs doing or can wait.
Sometimes take a little while, but that's because it's always packed to the rafters with various Porsches, TVRs and Aston Martins!
They don't even have a proper website, but they know their stuff, used by pretty much all the TVRs in my area.
