Anyone had any dealings with them? Do they know what they are on about, not keen to leave the Esprit with them if its a bunch of 18 year old corsa drivers working on it, any advice welcome chaps...

Over the years of owning my fiesta I spent well in excess of £10k with them, never had cause for any concern (other than the spiralling debt ). A mate has his bonkers prototype race focus prepped by them and I'm pretty sure they work on a fair few rally cars as well.

I'm sure there are a couple of spotty oiks there, but I remember there being some very smart guys, in particular the rolling road operator knew his stuff.

That's almost certainly libelous - whether you can substantiate that statement or not I'd delete that post sharpish if I were you.


edit: send an email to the original poster if you need to pass this kind of thing along.

I used to work just around the corner and had some dealings with them. They are quite busy 24/7 and do know their stuff. I did however hear they lost a car on the rolling road! I'd still use them. Good luck bud.

Well yesterday was the day. All in all I was impressed, lots of scoobies having engine rebuilds, they knew what they were doing. The esprit was over fueling when on boost but lean when ideling, with everything wired up on the rolling road it turned out to be the fuel pressure regulator, it thinks its best to let twice as much fuel in when boosting than it actually needs, you could only really check this on a rolling road.

Now just got to wait for the call when they have the part then we can see what bhp its putting out.

Oh & they are busy, they have 2 rolling roads & they are booked up about a month in advance.

You know what, I never had the call to say they had the part. I chased once & was told someone would call me back, is it really 2 years ago?!

I've heard a lot of other people have had problems with them, & they never call you back, must be their phones. I'm not going to deal with them ever & im just going to stay well away. Good luck mate, personally i'd find another garage that has phones that work.

They sorted all the running issues with my RS a few years ago (about 4) & seemed to be pretty good & fairly reasonably priced.

There's nothing wrong with interpro they been tuning race cars and rally cars for years the owners has some well looked after escort and Sierra rs cossys ,so I think it's more of a garage for people who want modded cars ,not 100 percent it's on a in insured basis but don't know anyone who had a problem

Quite. Anyone would thing someone had Googled the name, found the ancient thread with negative feedback and created an account specifically to post a positive review.
