Can anyone recommend a reliable mechanic in manchester area?

Post by Poddington »

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a mechanic near the Manchester area who is handy with watercooled petrol T25s? I know a really good one for aircooleds but that's no good for me anymore!

This one is converted to lpg aswel and I think I need the carb messing with so don't know if that would rule anybody out?

Cheers

There is General Motor Company at Hazel Grove. They specialise in VW/Audi/SEAT/Skoda but also do older stuff as well. Always seem to be bays n bugs kicking around the place.

Cheers for the responses - took it to Steve at Gasure today - can see why he's so highly recommended, really friendly guy with expert knowledge of these buses, well worth an hour drive. Really reasonable prices aswel, he takes a fraction of the time to do the job compared with mechanics not familiar with older VW quirks, couldn't recommended him highly enough!
