Garages in Shropshire

[NathanW]

I'm located in Market Drayton which 99.9% of you probably never heard of. It's best describe as in between stoke and shrewsbury in Shropshire.

What are my options for Jap specialist tuning garages for services, tuning work etc?

I'd also highly recommend Area Motorsport, Rob is now based in Uttoxeter. I'm also from Shropshire (Telford) and it's only 40 miles from me

+1 for Area. Never used the garage however Rob has spent a lot of time on the phone to me about suspension setups and also with my garage (TGM) helping Tom out with parts etc. Top bloke and I've never heard a bad thing about the garage side of life.

Ah okay fairly local to me then! Do you know a ball park figure for /hr of labour.and also a full service with all oils changed? Probably one of the first things I'll do when purchasing it

From top of my head his Hourly rate is £55 P/H. I'm not sure on a price for fluids as I do it myself on my car

All good advice - don't discount J T Hughes though (main dealers in Shrewsbury). They have some competent mechanics there and people into DC2s, EK9s etc. There is even a chap on their staff from Whitchurch who has an NSX(!) For routine servicing i.e. non-specialist work including MOT etc. I have taken my DC2, EK and DC5s there for over 10 years. Fair pricing and good customer service.

HTH.

Oh okay that's good to know. I always drive past there as I work doors on a night in shrewsbury so will bare that in mind.

In the past I've had Seats and their mechanics barely know how to put a stock car together never mind a modified one. Thanks
