Taking my T350C RR to SFR Engineering in Stockport on Thursday next week for its 12k service plus tappets all genuine TVR parts (naturally). Price is very competitive £400 + vat for service and £153 for all the tappets aswell.

My question is has anyone had any experience with them?


Please don't tell me where i should be taking it or which place is better as it is booked in now, i just want to know if anyone has been there and what did you think?



Thanks in advance.

Nick,

Hi there. Have spoken to Shane at SFR a few times nice guy and very helpful. It seems he has a loyal customer base but not had any experience of using the garage myself.

I live in <Manchester not far from Stockport. How about u?

We use SFR.

He carried out the AP 330mm Brake Conversion on the Chimaera.

Fitted race Engine and 'box to No23 Tuscan Challenge car and re-commisioned for the track.
Currently he's preparing No58 Race Car for the Dunlop Tuscan Challenge.

Soon, he'll be looking after No23 again ,in it's new guise as a Sagaris bodied race car, and next year,he'll be prepping a 550bhp LS Chevy engined Sagaris racer.

We take the cars to Shane because of the level of experience he has developing,building the race engines and working on TVR's own Race cars and Peter Wheelers own racer.

Neill Anderson (ex TVR Design Engineer)did the initial setting up of No58 when we got it,when i told him that SFR would be looking after it frome theronin he confirmed that the car would be in excellent hands.

You won't find Shane promoting himself on the PH forums though , he's crap at typing hehe.

T350c RR 48k service All is well.

Tiny leak from steering wrack and worn rear tyres apart from that good good.

Shane at SFR was a totally sound guy definitely knew his stuff and was only too happy to answer my millions of questions.

Would definitely recommend him to anyone and i will be taking my car there from now on.
