TVR experienced Garages in range of South Wales

[taylormj4]

Hi all,
Looking for a new garage to do bigger jobs / servicing on the 450.
Can anyone recommend anyone around South Wales, say within 100 miles or so.

Not 100% happy with recent works at the current place and need a second opinion on the latest job, which has not been done correctly IMHO.

Cheers

I use JT Classic Services just ver the bridge in Severn Beach. I have also heard very good reports from Forza in Chepstow - good luck, Paul.

Dulford Automotive TVR specialists have a very good reputation. Down the M5 into Devon.

You won't do any better than Forza West in Chepstow. Stuart is a top man.

Depending on where you are in South Wales, Neil Garner at Kemble is in range. He is very good

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Forza seems to keep coming up. They seem to do BMW and TVR servicing, are they well experienced with TVRs and all their eccentricities / the LUCAS engine management system etc?

I guess I'm looking for somewhere that gets a good turnover of TVRs so they will be able to spot common faults quicker and know how best to fix them.

Have you tried Pete Millward at Roath Garage on Moy Road in Roath?

He's extremely knowledgeable and rates are very good too. I always take mine there.


If you want a number pm me.


Cheers

Like the man says: Doesn't get much better than Neil Garner! Good enough for Alonso, good enough for me!! Simples.com!
PS And no I don't work for him!

Nick are you coming to Neil's Open Day on Easter Saturday? 070412. As per the TVR Events page - Cotswold Easter Event. If so, do please put your name down. Love to see that Tuscan, what a fab colour!

Actually, I was born in Manchester, which funnily enough isn't that far from Blackpool !

Looked at their website - impressive stuff. Looks more like they're into race prep and engine tuning rather than fixing troublesome older TVRs ? Are they expensive ? It might be good enough for Alonso but I reckon his wallet is probably better lined than mine ! I'd like to think my Chimaera would get the same attention as a race car that the owner is paying several thousand a year to have maintained but you could understand why that might not be the case.

Another for Stu at Forza. Top bloke, knows his TVRs and won't rip you off. Mine goes no where else.

Thanks. Like the pictures of your car against that old plane. What plane is it ?

As competitive as everyone else in the TVR game. Why not give Neil a ring. That way you will get a first hand answer!
