Mechanic North Devon?

Hi

I've recently bought Bessie,a 1985 van. Does anyone know someone in north Devon who could take a look over her? I just want a simple service and the engine given a once over as oil light does flicker now and again..
I'm happy to take it somewhere, or even better if someone would come to me.
I definitely need someone who is confident with these old engines, not a 12 year old who thinks that mechanics is plugging a vehicle into a machine!

Thanks a lot.

Based in Woolacombe

Hi Frogmella85,

I live just the other side of Mullacott.
I use On a Hill Garage up at Lynton Cross. They are a great family run business, not VW specialists, but they have several T25 customers (myself included).
Bob Tucker Motor Services in Barnstaple are great, although can't fit a hitop into the workshop.
Also I have friends who use West Cross http://www.westcrossgarage.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and are very pleased with their work and service.

Hope that helps

Tim
