Nahh, i used them and thought they where a bit off a rip off. asked the guy for a price for doing some work and he seemed to pluck a figure our the air. would not recommend. I got them to change a windscreen seal and they did an awful job at it.
Depending where you live I would try mini-speed in Byfleet, going to try them soon, as they seem pretty good.

I used them once many years ago and have bought stuff of their trade stand at shows more recently without any problems. But I have also read a lot of negative reports about them on this forum, so you might want to read through some previous threads here before giving them a go!

ok im just around the corner from them winchester...ok for last minute bits...as for work hmm ...engine work dont bother...the odd greasy job when you have run out of time yes...nice enough guys...but parts well over priced ..price of work is about the same as any where around this area..engine work and maintance ... m l motor sport is would be the best to use ..not close but worth it..

Its a little bit of a trek but you could try Slark race engineering in Amesbury.

Although I havent used them for MOT or Servicing before, I have used them to supply parts - including service items. They are very knowledgable and I would highly recommend them. I have dealt with them at shows and also in their garage in Twyford.

I've heard loads of people giving them bad comments, but I've never had an issue myself

They're ok but as said above are expensive especially for parts and 2nd hand cars for sale on their forecourt!

Steve Harris at BJ Autobits in Cranbourne (just the other side of Fordingbridge) is your man for engine/gearbox work etc. He also has a good well stocked shop and well equipped workshop!
