smudgedon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Been speaking with Sly for a couple of weeks about getting some bits done, and after hearing nothing but good things I finally booked the Zed in for some work. Was ill last weekend but Sly kindly rebooked me in for today Currently sitting in the (warm ) office with my laptop, whilst Sly is working away in the background. Today he's doing: P3 service including spark plugs and gearbox oil Lowering of BC coilovers Full geometry setup using the Hunter system Power steering pump replacement All for an extremely competitive price! As soon as I got here Sly was welcoming and ready to go. He's got dozens of certificates and awards on show for his work on Nissan's over the last 18 years and you can tell he has a true passion for good work on them! Will update later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgedon Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Absolutely Will So far we've added a new set of belts as they were cracked, and new undertray bolts for a tenner as the old ones are rusted to buggery! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I hear he is pretty good on tyre prices as well:) Hope you let us know what the P3 service price is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgedon Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Still here guys, Sly likes to take his take and do it properly, which I don't mind at all Service and power steering done, just on the HawkEye system at the moment getting the geo setup P3 service including spark plugs and gearbox oil was £300 all in, very competitive price and you know it's being done properly too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yeah me too, feedback as always. Went to the tyre shop today to tend to a slow puncture..... Oh sorry air can't repair that with a nail sat in it, right on the edge of the tread. So those tyres have lasted 12 months, maybe just over with still another 6 months on them, so that's £380 out of pocket next weekend. :notveryhappyatallmisserablefedupface: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgedon Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 The roads leading to Sly's establishment are just MADE for some hard pressing on the loud pedal... David Oh yes turned off the roundabout to see that bit of tarmac between 2 fields, and just went for it 35mile drive home on the M25, car feels SO different Power steering back is a dream but the car just feels so smooth and comfortable now, pulls a lot better than before and also doesn't lose speed as quickly when coming off the gas Love my car again Massive thanks to Sly, extremely nice guy and is absolutely top notch. I've found my new garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
