Jon Norris, the mobile mechanic is not too far from you. He is quite busy so you may have to wait a few weeks, but he is one of the best on our cars, Kayleigh and Dave in Derby, are also mobile and may cover your area, they trade as MG Mobile Mechanics.
These guys know our cars inside and out, and would be probably cheaper than a large garage and more knowledgeable than your small town mechanics.
I have just purchased a TF 160 and would like a full service. Any recommendations for specialists? I live near Whitby. Thanks
Can’t go wrong with Dave Johnson aka Turbo Dave.. one of the few people I trust to do work in my cars, and probably forgotten more about MGRover cars than we’ve ever known. He up in Woodstone Village ind est just outside of Sunderland.. can pm his number if you like.
