Hi,

[Cross-posted from the London section!]

I'm looking for a garage to take a look at a suspension issue on my 924. I'm aware of places like JAZ, JZM and Portiacraft that specialise in Porsches, but I guess McPherson strut suspension is actually pretty universal (unlike Porsche-specific stuff like Variocam and so on...)

Can anyone recommend an honest, capable garage on the northern tip of London or southern Hertfordshire? I live in Enfield and work in North Finchley, so preferably looking for somewhere close to one of those two.

Cheers,

Chris

There is a Porsche place in Hatfield I went to a few times that seemed to be pretty good. Bit pricey though.

You know what, I've got another friend who knows a bloke called Aggy who runs a garage, wonder if it's the same guy. Either way, I'll drop Paul a line.

Thought it better to resurrect this old thread than start a new one.

Any other recommendations for a garage in this area, need some work doing on a Lupo GTi I'm looking at as a winter hack.

Japex in kings Langley. They are jap specialists but they work on Anything and are very good and reasonable pricing wise.

I use a chap in Stanmore/Edgware. Very informal, but very good. PM me if you want his details.

I haven't used them but these guys seem to have a good reputation, may be ideal for your Lupo...
