I would just like to say Thank you to Paul "Trouser" and co at TSL for making Me & Mrs Huxley so welcome oooh and the ride back down south was entertaining to say the least,whistle pop bang from the new downpipe

It was realy hard to keep the wallet in me pocket with all those goodies on display - me thinks i might have to sneak up to see them without Huxley Chick

And also NOT a big thank you Lancasters of Reading for leaving some bolts loose with no nuts on under the intercooler on the engine mounting [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] when i had the new clutch fitted a while ago - god i hate main dealers, but TSL to the rescue they found some nuts and put things right for us.

And such a clean,bright and happy workshop that would put most main dealers to shame.

Why is it that when ever some one takes their scooby to TSL for the first time they post a thankyou thread

I don't know.... and I did EXACTLY that... I posted a thread after my first visit

as the cider advert says "what a refreshing change"

They certainly put a certain renowned Essex based outfit to shame, whose workshop, not to mention general organisation, is frankly a shambles in comparison.

Cool

Perhaps TSL should be a benchmark for all other tuners and workshops as they should all look as good as TSL.

Must be said every time I visit TSL it is a pleasure.

Although my credit card is groaning under the combined attack of Graham, Lindsay and Trouser!

I have never seen a workshop with such a friendly, professional and clean environment.

My eventual "shopping list" grew by at least £2K after my visit to TSL - for now I'll stick to cosmetic bits, but once out of warranty ... who knows?

Most of my mods are from TSL, still said sorry to Graham for not buying their exhaust system but the HKS was calling out to me!

Now I am trying to save the £4,000 (plus VAT) for the final three serious mods before moving onto the body!

P1Fanatic - I think it sounds better, deeper and a better note. Of course this is my opinion, but if I didn't have HKS I would have this!

Nicely made as well.

I can echo MATTeL's comments, TSL worked on my WRX fixed several dealer made issues (not created by my local dealer, but another).

And I'm planning to get the Eibach's done on my GX @ TSL soon, plus maybe the backbox as I need that sound again!

P1 Fanatic,

You can purchase scoobysport equipment direct from TSL and then have it fitted while you drool over the rest of the stuff.

I gladly travel up to get things done, I live near Watford. I realise it is not the same for you coming from Devon but the pub lunch is almost worth the journey itself!

The technicians there are fantastic to, glad to have you in the workshop. In fact they are a bit miffed when people don't ask questions!

When I had the HIDs put in the wiring for the existing and remaining lights were tidied up, zip tied. The cable connectors were zip tied together to prevent them shaking loose.

Finally the lights were adjusted using the proper equipment, for the first time ever my lights are perfectly set up (TSL did not do the initial install or calibration).

Professional, thorough and very funny!

When it comes to spotting problems they explain what the issue is and come up with all sorts of solutions. Like when I had a blown damper (fixed under warrenty) they spotted it, told me and then showed me. Nice to have a chat to a dealer and be able to tell them exactly what is happening, where and just how much oild is coming out.

I may sound biased, but I am. Never once had an issue, (except for Graham selling all his smoked indicator covers, what does he think he is doing ) so glad I was introduced to them. Although the initial "just having a look" trip cost be about £800 for the brake disks, pads, ITG panel filter, reflector replacements and some other bits (thanks Trouser and DrEvil).
