Servicing & repairs after Monkfish :-(

[anonymous-user]

Now I've started to come to terms with the terrible news that Monkfish will soon be no more I thought I'd canvas opinion on where people will take their cars from now on. Personal recommendations would be much appreciated.

I'm based in Bedfordshire so it makes most sense I think for me to use Walkinshaw.

The Walkinshaw option is about 3 hours plus round trip , not that i don't like driving my cars , it's a fair haul to get a service done normally just an oil change v me doing it if that makes sense

Do we know if Walkinshaw will even touch Monaros? My understanding is they are already stacked with routine servicing on the newer VXR8s so are unlikely to take on anything that's older and likely to block up their workshop.

Might start looking for a decent independent mechanic I can trust in Bedfordshire. If you know of anyone you can vouch for, please let me know.

Thanks, that's good to know. The key is to probably take it down when they aren't busy - autumn/winter.

Walkinshaw will definitely be looking after Monaro's as well plus will in the not too distant future be updating their website to show Monaro parts not just the VXR8 etc stuff they currently show.

but as others have said they are booked up until November at the moment anyway so not ideal for emergency work

but you will be able to buy Monaro parts from them and they will have a proper online shop like MF used to have at some point soonish.

Yay! My GForce anti-hop driveshaft CV joints have a bit of slack in them and was going to get them upgraded. Not sure what to do now.
