Hi all I was wondering if anyone could reccommend a good garage in the north wales area,I am in Rhyl.The scooby has been off the road for about 2 years after blowing the turbo but I am now ready to get it back on the road after some mods and upgrades so any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

We have lots of customers from North Wales that travel down. Not sure too many of them actually appear on here. One member comes down on a Saturday from some place with loads of L's and c's and y's in the spelling [ but that could be anywhere in Wales in fairness ]

He takes about an hour and 25 down the mid Wales route in through Shrewsbury and the M54 to get here.

Look up CV33 9GX [ NOT 9PL ] on Satnav for a location. Or the map on our website

Fitting lLockwood dial faces is a very good way to F**k up a perfectly good set of gauges. It is nearly impossible to change the faces and have a working accurate dial afterwards.

We only ever tried once and after we were £200.00 out of pocket supplying a set of dials to replace the ruined ones, we said never again.

Don't do it.
