I've read with interest about Ian in middlewich and can see what a good reputation he was and have been looking who would be near to me in terms of independant servicing. Green star garage in blackpool seem to be the nearest to me. Has anyone dealt with them and would they reccomend.?
pm me if you prefer
thanks

Ian does have a fantastic reputation, for example he took delivery of a Griff sent up from Essex at 10pm on Valentine's Day night, thus testing my patience and good nature

Didn't mind really, as he bought me some cool stuff and I was happily snuggled down infront of the TV with a bottle of wine and a box of Malteasers

The owner of greenstar usually attends the Blackpool regional TVRCC meet. The next one of which is tomorrow night at the shovels in Blackpool.
Let him tell you in person the services his business offers
could not make this one but plan to contact the RO and pop down to one soon. I'm happy to speak to the chap in person but was just interested in people's personal experience (i mean i would'nt expect the chap to shout rotten fish would i?). Ian is geographically further away so its what i've got on my doorstep that interests me in the first instance.
Theres a new company setting up in blackpool serviceing TVRs , word is they have a couple of ex factory machanics working there.

also had a look at www.automedon.co.uk and posted elsewhere. looks like ex factory guys setting up on their own in blackpool
Can I just point out that H L Gorner has not closed (as was stated by another poster on here last month) 
, nor is it in receivership!
Just to reassure TVR customers:
* The dealership is still open!
* The showroom currently has over 30 new and used TVRs on display!
* TVR Parts and Servicing continues as normal!
The company is in VOLUNTARY administration, pending the sale of the former Mercedes-Benz and Skoda sites in North Yorkshire and Warrington. I'm sure we'll have more information during the coming weeks.

Blimey!!
not sure how i got from 'has anyone tried?'
to
voluntary administration.......but what the heck!
claire i'm about 5 miles outside of blackpool. I'd be more than happy to make a trip down the M6, its no trouble but i'm a great believer in supporting local stuff where possible and was wondering if anyone could speak from experience.
won't loose any sleep if anyone can't and thanks for all the other information folks.

Well Dad checked over Miss Daisy after Ian had got his hands on her and was mightly impressed with the way she is now running.
And he should know how TVR's run

Mark used to work with Heath in the TVR Service department.
He left a good few years ago.
Mark and heath were a double act. Both good mechanics but not in the same league as Ian @ Middlewich
As for who is working with Mark (if it is him) it could be any one of them that have left over the years.
I take my car to Ian, as do a lot of others, one guy even brings his Griff up from Essex..! now that must tell you something..?
