Rich, I can thoroughly recommend a small indy Jaguar garage next door to me in Wakefield,as well as servicing Jags, they can look at anything,N&S auto services,Russel Street, Thornes Wakefield,They can sort out your MOT as well.

I know a good one in sheffield, not a jap specialist but he's very honest. Also Sykes and son are very trustworthy guys, they're next to the shell garage just a touch down from Makro in Leeds. They've yet to take the mickey with anything you usually get and between me and my brother we've probably had 15MOT's from them.

Getting way out of Leeds now, but if you're venturing east there's an indy in North Newbald, not Jap specialists but the guy that runs it is honest to a fault.

I can highly recommend "Carmaster" in Starbeck (between harrogate and Knaresborough). 27 Camwal Road, Harrogate, HG1 4PT. (01423) 881213
The owner, Dave Pullen, has done lots of work for me, including the TVR. He's very knowlegable, honest and the prices are reasonable.

YVS are probably the only local garage I'd trust with my car but I'm also noting down some of the comments from others here for reference smile

Ive used Dave since he went on his own (about 8 years). The technology he has in his garage is second to none and has a growing group of very good mechanics. I am from Harrogate but live in Halifax and I take all my cars to Dave.....he's looked after my E30 M3 since Ive had it and he's done a much better job than Victoria BMW did the one and only time they had it.

Done quite a bit of work on my BMW lately, very happy with their work. Always have plenty of cosworths/porches/jap cars etc in for work

Used these many times when I had my Impreza, very reasonable pricing and always do a top job
