Had a wing mirror replaced there a couple of weeks ago and they were really helpful, ordered and fitted the mirror for me for next to nothing. The owner Peter was telling me they'd been servicing TVR's for 8 years and i was thinking of using him for the next service on my 500, has anyone used the garage before?

Ditto all of the above - seems to know his stuff, very understanding and makes sure he looks after your car when its in. Can't fault the work he has done for em thus far.

If you drive along Albany Road towards Wellfield Road (away from City Road and Crwys Road) then it's up on either the first or second left. It's basically your usual small back-street garage but the cars parked outside aren't the kind you'd expect.

haha, used to live on Mackintosh Rd - just up from Death junction.

Walked past this garage hundreds of times on the way to Tesco's - never used to have any TIVS in.

Down the lane at the side of the Gala Bingo, off City Road, right at the end is a little garage I used to use. Can't even remember his name but he's a nice chap and won't rip you off.

If it's TVR then peter is your man. He's been servicing my Griff 500 for a while. TOP BLOKE and reasonble prices.
