Having done some searching here, I could only come up with the names of APM, and Henley. Are there any others out there?

Many thanks.

And RG are the first to get back to me as well! I have an inkling that my money will be spent there, but will check on the prices of the others.

Cheers all.

There's good reason for that, great service and sensible prices and you get a car back that will more than likely allow you to book ahead rather than want immediate fixes!

More than 20 hours of racing and testing last year and not one pit stop for even a fettle due a technical breakdown is proof enough.

Why do you see so many engines being built in his workshop for racers and road/track day customers?

Jonny, if he replied to my mails, then I'd be happy to discuss things! Maybe I need to call them... tomorrow is another day, I'll try then.

Not quite hants/berks but I'm taking my Chim 500 to Neil Garner in Kemble. £450 + VAT for a 12k, he's starting to specialise in Tivs and he used to fix Mr Alonso's F1 car - so he should know what he's doing. Also had good reports from various at C3C. Will report back in future.smile

Top marks to APM - they have now contacted me directly.

I have to say, I am seriously impressed with both the APM and RG customer services. 'Warm fuzzies' cover it - you know that your P&J would be well looked after.

For the Kemble guy - yes, sorry too far away. But impressed on the technical knowledge then!

When I rang and they told me a month I though 'must be a reason' so I book and am due in soon. I won't be completely relaxed in the new Tuscan until someone has had a good look and given it a clean bill of health.

After a few phone calls, I went to Andy at APM. Doubt I'll ever go anywhere else again - cracking job, the engine feels fantastic, and it turns out there is a hot cam in there - possibly a 404! I've had worse days than driving it back....

My carbon dash is in, and I've just finished fitting the last of the shiney bits from Leven. It's polished, and ready for the summer - come on!

Don, glad it all worked out, worth waiting for a slot at Andy's! If he read your profile I reckon you could have shifted it forward a couple of days!!!biggrinpunch , all the best Jonny
