American car specialist in London?

[Rodimus]

I was enjoying a nice Friday night last night and always head down to berkley square at night for pipe smoking. I thought I would try a different route and ended up in a road that was under construction. I was driving carefully as there were tons of potholes and those small stones all over. I came to the end of the road where to my left is the Porsche showroom, as soon as I went, I started hearing stones hit the bottom of the car as the tires were rolling, 10 seconds or more later, an uncomforting sound that sounded like fluid bubbling out of some pipe somewhere. I took a big turn around the square and to a small area where I can go check and see what happened.

As I was driving at 5-10 mph, there was a loud screeching noise that sounds like the brake pads are gone but I know that's not possible cause I recently had them changed. When I brake, there is a a loud screech that then became a sound as if something was jammed in the brakes somewhere. The best way to explain it is this, take a hand sized rock in your hand and scratch it against a wall as you are walking. As you can probably guess, I am no techie. I thought to myself, I would not let it ruin my evening and decided to park the car and try my best to enjoy the night. When I went to park the car, I couldn't turn the wheel all the way........just when I thought things couldn't get worse......I eventually was able to park the car. When I went back home, I was able to turn the wheel all the way but sometimes I couldn't plus brake noise is still there.

So now I turn to you folks, as I am new to this country, I really don't know where to go. The car is a challenger srt8, I live in London. I googled American car specialists London and it took me to ACI ( American Car Imports ), was wondering if anyone had any experience with them or know of a reputable place who can fix this?

Try Terry Harris in Kilburn NW6 , he builds from scratch Chevy Stock Cars and is the best with Yanks that I have met by a long way . His Phone is 0207 328 5337 Tell him Pat Bailey with the Cobra sent you and he will look after you ok .... PAT

I use OCW. Ask for Neal. Always does a good job for me. Bought my car from ACI but they don't to my knowledge at least, service or repair the vehicles.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I certainly am looking at all the places you all told me about. Because I was leaking fluid, I took the car to Euro American Car Services in north of London. They did a great job fixing it up but I am still not satisfied with the exhaust I have. When I got it installed, it was perfect, however when I shipped the car to London, something didn't feel right about the exhaust. It makes a loud whistling sound when I go above 3500 rpm. Because euro American said this was normal, I am forced to look elsewhere for a second opinion. I will certainly contact the places you all advised me on, thank you once again
