Garage recommendation

Post by Michael Hatchwell »

Hi

I need a really good garage to look after my mr2 turbo. Drift limits no longer taking private cars.

I live in central London. Any thoughts please?

Thank you

Michael

So do I (I'm in Kent).

Another possibility is Derek at Tech One in Sidcup.*

The turbo in the pic on the left belongs to PsyKen on here.

* Although it's a lot closer to me I haven't used Tech One (http://www.tech-one.co.uk/) for a long time.
  That said, my switching to Patrick had nothing to do with the standard of Derek's work.

Closest I would say would be Hatton Energy Motorsport in Cornwall near the Eden project
