TVR servicing - where to go
Discussion
Its time I changed to a new servicing company - Can anyone recommend the 3 closest TVR servicing centres to Eastbourne, where they are (with post codes or web addresses if possible, a thousand thanks in advance!)
I'd book back into to Austec without hesitation (always had a fair and friendly service there) but before I do, was wondering how many other companies fall within an hours drive from Eastbourne in any direction.

Just wondering if there are any more indies I dont know about hidden (slightly more locally) in the nearby bushes - we have a chap in Eastbourne who worked on TVR's (even did some work for a dealer) but I wouldnt trust him with a cerbera as it wasnt really his speciality. He also hated cerberas with a passion, so thats a no brainer then
Austec at Gatwick. There is also another outfit in Crawley who advertise in Sprint! (Horizon?).
There is only 1 for all things TVR and expecially AJPs and Speed Sixs (ie whilst he is an expert on all TVRs he is without doubt the most knowledgable Cerbera man in the country). Dont ask his hrly rate though - the pleasant suprise might kill you!!!

What a great drive from Eastbourne as well!!! OK it is over an hour but not by much on a clear day.
There isnt anyone in the country who knows cerbs as well as Andy. He has been working on them since before they were sold !
So if you want the best service , at the best price and for it to be the most pleasant of experiences then speak to Andy!

I have to second that recommendation........ Andy is a top bloke that knows his stuff and is as honest as they come
He also met me late in the evening so I could collect my Cerb. Well after he'd finished for the day and gone home.

APM... lots of positive stuff... APM
Sounds good! Shame APM isnt closer though, even the batmobile wouldnt make it there in an hour. (What am I saying, our cars are faster than batmobiles...) I will give them a call though
cheerz Gazzab!! Nuggs said:Well, they're an hours drive, 2 hours in a low loader
Bob, it has to be Austec mate, and you know it
and um... Yup, well yes ok then. They're the best 
To be honest though, Ive not looked for an alternative until now, hoped there might be a smaller indie a little closer than Austec...
If you are looking at those sort of distances you could also try Steve at Thames Valley Racing www.thamesvalleyracing.com/

Trev's due for a service, too.
C'mon Cossie, get it in for the service and come out and play on the Sussex Run
Don't rush me! If you've got a spare seat I shall be in there like swim wear!
I'll check the spare seat with the missus tonight, if she's not keen on coming, you are more than welcome (bikini not necessary though
)

Well I sort of know one place, if I had kept the Grif, it would have gone there. Dont know their expertise on the AJP8, but on everything else I wouldnt question. Goudhurst in Kent. If you arent going to go with APM drop me a line and Ill say more. They arent specialist TVR, but well everything else *more* special in rural Kent passes through their doors. Father and son outfit, dad runs the other showroom that deals with more sedate special stuff, the son runs the sporty side of it.
