My brother bought an 03 WRX from them. Never had any problems with the car or deal.

they are of the highest quality of things they do IMO but their charges show this... cost me over a ton to get my Reno 5 set up on the rollers where as its been on numerous sets of rollers before and never paid more than £55 but the car came off well lanes running the best it ever did for ages

They sell extremely good cars from what I've seen.

They've been in the game a long time and have a lot of experience so everything they sell is top notch.

Not heard of a bad car from there.

Thanks

Rich

Bought a Rover 220 coupe turbo from them five or so years ago now. Paid slightly over the odds but it was a pristine example. Went back and bought the Subaru from them three years ago. Again slightly more expensive than what I could have got a similar example for elsewhere but once again NO problems in three years and counting. Been an absolute belter.

Yes the sales can often leave a lot to be desired (that was my first impression) and dont like haggling (Billy in particular). Once they know you you'll be looked after.

Highly recommended and would not hesitate to get another car from them. Good luck.

I got my MY02 Bugeye from there...... Euro Import OK they registered me as Mrs white who lived somewhere else and the VIN and engine number were wrong but hey very helpful and cheap as chips, I also got them to do a few bits including an Ochiari rear spoiler.

The paint melted on the spoiler and I rejected the spoiler as not fit for purpose and TSL took it off for me. Well Lane had (allegedly) stripped bolts and put it on with various paint melting sealers. I returned it to Billy who said that Dean Swift would deal with it...... nothing !! Dean has left and the next guy (who I met at a RR day...325 bhp...whooooo) is not interested !!

I have now given up chasing ....£572 plus out of pocket... not to mention the bits I changed they kept..

I don't think they are bad just *COMPLETELY* disorganised !!

Midlife.....
