I've used a local garage (name removed) in the past for main dealer servicing, but have to say that they were average at best - I didn't drive away thinking that they really wanted and wished to retain my business, (quite tactful for me that).!!

Anyway, there's a link from the South Wales TVRCC Region site pointing to an Independent in Cardiff called "Roath Garage", (very catchy name), and I wondered if anyone here have had FIRST HAND experience with their work.

Do they have a TVR stanp for the handbook, and how much did they charge you for a service.??

Thought I'd get some background before getting in touch with them - forewarned is fore...something.!!!!

You know what I mean.?????

Hi Nick,

I went to Roath Garage on recommendation back in May.
Its a small garage in a side street off Albany Road,
The owner/mechanic Peter carried out a 6k service, using Mobil 1 oil for less than £200.
There were a few Tvrs there when I arrived, including his own Griff.
I found him very helpful and knowledgeable, answering my questions and also giving me, as requested, a list of any faults he noticed while doing the service, some which I was already aware of,and others I was not,and at no time did I get the impression he was looking for more work.
He stamped the service book with a TVR specialist stamp which is fine by me.
To sum up, I was more than pleased with Roath Garage and would happily recommend them

Hi Nick

I've also called around to see Peter, but not yet used him for any work....but I intend to when required.

He's a nice unassuming guy, seems to know his stuff, and when I called had 2 chims in the workshop, I cerbie, 1 Griff awaiting collection, and a V8S....
