Decent TVR service in Bristol?

[wilfandrowlf]

Hi

Having recently bought a Chim I am looking to get a bit of work done and was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent (localish) garage.

While we are on the subject does anyone know of a specialist in Severn Beach by the name of Tony? Have been steered in his direction but not yet met him.

Many thanks...........

I make the journey to Collumpton to Dulfords, I know it's a drive but they are excellent and you can use their office/wifi if it is a in and out job.

The coffee is pretty good too.

Neil Garner at Kemble near Cirencester would be my choice. Just up the M4 and left a bit.

Depends what you want doing - but can recommend Neil Garner - knows his stuff and nice bloke. If its just a small bit of fettling have used Cleevewood Garage in Downend - Andy

Hi
The guy in Severn Beach is Tony Gaston.
He did some work on my TVR a few years ago, seemed to know what he was doing and was reasonable.
Cheers

I highly recommend Lloyd Specialist Developments; they are Somerset/Wilts border but will collect and drop off. See my post of a couple of days ago.

As above, Neil Garner, or Stu at Forza West in Chepstow.

+1 For Tony Gaston.

very nice chap - did my Cam a while back. Only problem is I tried to get hold of him several times recently to no avail...

Neil Garner is excellent but a bit of the PITA location wise if you have to leave the car there and get a train home.


For me if anything major needs doing I make the trip to Cardiff - there is a small indy there by the name of Pete Millward at Roath Garage.

I cannot recommend him highly enough. Know's TVR's inside and out and really reasonable rates too.

Many thanks for all the feed back.
I will contact a few of the recommended ones to talk about costs and availability.

As an aside....
How many Chimaeras are there in Bristol?
Would like to meet up with a few maybe, is there a local (monthly) meet?

Not sure of the route from Bristol yet, but we're heading for the AV8 Restaurant on Kemble Airfield for lunch via some twisty Cotswold roads on the way.

If you want to meet up en-route, contact Optimax Sniffer or Mrs Pitstop on here or the TVRCC site here http://tvrcc-bristol.co.uk/
