Question North East owners, where do you take yours?

I have been taken mine to Alan at AS performance for 7 years
And it's 140 mile round trip ,but that doesn't matter as the job is done right and at a great price

Harvey is also very well recommended to

Join tts and see where people go after all they have been going ten years
Also lots of the CS guys go over to the north east too

We use Drew, never personally met him as I never take the car but my fella can't fault him in the slightest.

We sometimes use Hi Performance in Sunderland too due to their good reputation and word of mouth from other friends with performance cars. There's one just off the big roundabout next to Stadium of Light, and another just off the Barnes roundabout.

Get on www.nesf.co.uk and ask the crew there. Another option is Andy Kindon in Chester Le Street - very well respected.

Why would you go to AS Performance for a service if you lived in Saltburn? It's fecking miles away! If you want servicing and you live in the Boro area then go somewhere in the boro. I see no point in travelling all the way up to Geordieland for the day just for a service.

I travel 140 miles for a service with Alan along with many others from even further away in cumbria
Makes a day out of it with a trip to the metro centre which is only ten minutes away
When a man is honest enough with you to say you don't need brake pads for another six months you know you can trust him

And of course the drive back via the twistys is always worth it


Harvey has also got a great reputation for quality and value for money along with Drew .

Used Alyn a few times with me old scoob & has been said he's very honest & reasonably priced. I only take my current scoob to dennis common because i want to keep up the main dealer service history. I know that they're dearer but they also have gained my trust due to the excellant work/deals/help that they have givem me over the past 3 years.

Regards
Rick
