Garages in Kent?

Post by justinjgreenaway »

Well loved t25 needs TLC from a garage in Kent area. Suspect turbo or something more serious. Loss of complete power and towed home in shame.

Any recommendation for Kent please?

Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for the speedy reply.

1.9 diesel and we are in Maidstone. West Malling is a winner from the 3 options.

Have you used and got confidence with them?

Many thanks for recommendation. Will ponder the distance as always on going work and closer would be ideal. If the new engine options looks likely then maybe this specialist is better.

I used King Street for three years while living in West Malling up to 2013. So it might have changed direction. The MOT tester owned a Westy.
It is an old school garage specialising in Morris Minors.
Im passing by on Thursday. So will call in and ask.
If your vehicle is not driveable what are your options for delivery to garage of choice?

Many thanks - I see a Jacks Garage as being in London not Canterbury via a google search. Are you able to send address / phone number for Canterbury?

I must admit that his various replies did look very suspect, just pulled from the internet.
There is one like that on the T6 forum at the moment from Nigeria! He knows everything but doesn't own a T6.
