Hi to all..Im looking to start a specailist garage-TVR,LOTUS,BMW and MINI.
The garage would be in Chepstow,Catchment area for Chepstow,Forest of Dean,Newport and Bristol.
Would anybody travel to me to have their servicing,mods etc if the price is right?

The key thing is finding someone with many yrs of Cerb experience at the right price etc...
So even if you were near then I wouldnt use you unless you had the reputation and experience I was looking for (I have 3 more convenient choices (Raving Queens, Batty and Fernies) than APM but yet I choose APM).

I seem to recall fitting a close ratio box into a Tuscan and then taking it back out soon after because they bought a Griff(hope that Griff wasnt the write off a few months ago on the A48)andthen there was talk of it going into another Tuscan or Tamora...at that point we had our second child!!!
Stu in the forest-how is it in sunny Blakney?

I live in Chepstow, so I would be most interested to hear your plans. Ive got a 98 4.2 Moonraker Black cerb, and pretty fed up with travelling such long distances to the places ive been so far, for what i consider to be well below average service.

Having spoken to quite a few other owners locally, I think there's definately a market in this neck of the woods.

Where abouts in Chepstow are you looking to set up?

That's it,how are you Stu?Blakeney is still good,and very sunny as i speak.That c/r box went in a mates Tamora after!!I still have the Griff i bought then,but it's a bit modded now,the one that crashed on the A48 was a actually a Chim i think?.You'll certainly get my support mate,if you set up nearbythumbup

Im hoping to find a place near to where they have put the new homebase-right next to the s/bridge.But it really depends on whats available at the time and of course the cost.
If I can find a garage that is struggling or selling then I will look there first as it would be an ideal basis for me..I did have my eye on Woolaston service station on the A48(out towards Lydney)10 mins from Cheps.We'll see.
The main thing is i've had some possitive feedback,here and out and about.Got to get my head down now and make it happen
