Where to go for service/repairs in North London

[jonmartin]

I live in Hackney North London, use Gatwick TVR, but its a bit of a treck, anyone able to reccomend somewhere closer? the car is 10 years old so not to worried about main dealership, just someone who knows what they are doing and can fix/service/mot the car

Top cats, Fernhurst, David Batty, Tower View. All very good independents (apparently), and all tend to get recommended on here.

Some closer than others but all probably a bit cheaper than Gatwick TVR with no sacrifice in quality or service.

TVR-Centre in Barnet for the friendly dealership experience.

Tower View are at the bottom of the M1 (roughly)

Tower View considerably cheaper than The TVR Centre. Not much else about in North London.

BTW a bit brave parking up a TVR in Hackney

I too live in Hackney, and take mine to David Batty. He's Guildford way, which is a bit of a treck, but it's not that often (he says touching wood!).

Where abouts in Hackney are you? You haven't got a yellow Chim by any chance? i keep spotting one on my road, but never see the driver!

[tamago]

i am at Canary Wharf and the City so I guess Hackney is in between! Are you (Ropey) the starmist blue Chim I keep spotting near Commercial Road? If so we have exchanged a couple of waves !

Tamago,

I haven't particularly noticed a Chim around Commercial Road, although I do use that route quite often when going to see the folks back out in North Kent. I'm based inbetween Angel and Shoreditch. Mine's an Antuiga Blue (lighter than Starmist) - 1998/S.

The one I do see is a bright yellow Chim (never noticed year), and it seems to be staying at the next door block of flats to me. Only spot it at w/e's - not sure if it's a resident or a visitor!

Anyone on here?
