Just spent the morning over Matts and Im a happy customer, I'd called Matt a week and a half before Im meant to be driving the VX around Europe. The car had an intermittent throttle fault which would without doubt signal the end of my holiday if I couldnt get it sorted. Matt made free a day to investigate and sort for me, though I managed to fix it myself by cleaning the loom of doom. Regardless, I wanted Matt to check Id fixed it correctly and also resolve some small niggles. New Engine mounts, Gearbox oil, Gearbox breather mod and full health check later and all is well.
Then instead of selling me the dampers that were in stock and I thought were probably the he could make money on, Matt recommended I hold off until the rebodied coilovers he really recommended were back in stock. He persuaded me not to geo the car in the meantime as I'd be wasting my money doing it twice. Nice to find someone not interested in sucking as many £££ notes as possible and instead look out for whats best for the customer.

Another big up for the dynamic duo of Matt and Lee this weekend for getting me MOT'd on Friday morning and the trouble shooting of Martins car.
I can't imagine they'd want to look at another VX for long time

Another 
for Mr Bentley...!
Harrop scared the crap out me until he sorted my suspension setup out. Now it's got so much grip I'm seriously reconsidering whether to bother fitting the traction control.
As people have said above, you get an honest appraisal for what you want out of the car, not just a sales pitch to get you to buy bits.
He also got me mot'd and up and running in time for the national and put in at least one evening working until midnight to do it.
I'll be a repeat customer without a doubt

Nice to meet you Bob. Happy you had a good first day of tracking. Your car didn't look bad until Matt and Lee stuck a dildo on the rear.

Got me on track...!
Besides, I quite liked the dildo look.... I might put it back on and try and mate it with other cars... See if I can breed some mongrels to sell on. Recommendations for some cross breeding..?

I had a similar milk based experience. The owner sent an 82yr old man to the shop to get milk just cos he couldn't be bothered..terrible customer service today...they ran out of milk.....after I had made the umpteenth cup of tea.....and had done the washing up that had sat there from about 3 weeks ago ...and bought the whole crew ice creams..... ...car is driving like a dream , so I suppose you have to let them off though................
Amazing cutting of my clam with a hacksaw though! Really made up for it
