Anyone know if they are any good. My Chim is garaged in Edinburgh just now whilst I am working abroad and need my dad to take it in for a service around April time. Just want to make sure they aren't going to try and rip him off or anything.

Also, have they moved to Fort Kinnaird yet?

Not as yet, Kinnaird is 1 minute up the road from my work.

No signage up yet either, i thought they were moving the franchise there before Christmas.

How old is your Chim. Does it need the dealer service ?

There are others..........

Its a 96 so I don't care if it goes to a dealer or not. Just that Glenvarigill was the only place I knew of, as I moved from Edinburgh 2 years before I got my Chim.

Which are the others you would suggest? Only one I think I know is Dreadnought in Callander.

can't comment on glenv or noel but Dreadnought are exceptionally good

they're based in Callander. if it's a bit of a trek for you then the roads around the place are worth the trip!

Used Glen's for last service (well, only one so far). Did the job, and price was probably fair for what was done (OK, seemed like I was handing over a kidney at the time). That plus the service that was done just before I bought the car come to about £3K

eMail me for any other comments, to keep Ted happy.

Yup, I know the roads around Callander well and they are excellent, provided you go when there isn't too much traffic (which seems to be always).

Especially enjoyed one year doing the drive from Brig O'Turk to Aberfoyle over the hill one year when the road was entirely covered in snow. Top fun (not in a Chim).

Philip C, will email when I get the chance.

Seconded -although no experiance of them working on TVR's as yet 'cos I'm still saving for one . Was up there tonight and going back tomorrow as they are skimming a pair of brake discs for me.
