david85williams Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 As per the the title.... I have a big service coming up and really struggling to find someone to service my car that I can trust and rely on..... I had a minor service at Smile in Hilsea last year but worried about a big service with them. Please help. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdingo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 These guys are worth a look: https://www.facebook.com/southcoastworkshop They don't specialise in zeds, or even Nissans but decent prices and they do like their jap motors. Or a bit further afield are TGM (http://www.tgmsport.co.uk/) who are Honda specialists, but properly know their way around a motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Can recommend south coast workshop - they fitted my new springs to the Celica (which is what they specialise in) but Barry who works there is a super competent mechanic and was in the middle of building a monster GT4 as well as doing an RB25 engine swap into an S15 when I was there so really knows his way around Japanese cars. Prices generally are pretty reasonable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I wouldn't take my cars to anyone but Tom at TGM. He is a Honda specialist and does stuff for BTCC teams and competes in 24 hour endurance races. He is a genius and a great guy to boot. He does lots of other Jap cars especially 350z/Skylines. He also loves 350z's and told me to buy one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer to do consumables myself but limited with space and tools down South! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 They definitely hire out the ramp (Grundy on here used it last year) not sure about the tools, they might do if you ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david85williams Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for the replies everyone. I've heard good things about TGM but it is quite far for me to travel and wait about. South Coast Workshop is only 5 mins from my work . I think I will give South Coast a try this time. Looking at Facebook they look like a very competent garage.

jimboy2 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He's really good. We hired a ramp to swap my y pipe. I used my own tools. He's reluctant to lend you his as people wonder off with them. Nice bloke too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rook Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Useful to know, looks like that's about a 15 minute walk from my house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
