I tried these chaps recently. They seemed friendly but very much an Aircooled focus so I wouldn't recommend for those like us with wet engines. They didn't even have any antifreeze in the garage (!) and failed to notice a leak despite header tank being half empty when I came to collect. It's clearly just not their bag though from the look of the vehicles onsite they must get lots of return Aircooled customers. There was also an unfortunate incident with appearing to pick up a flat tyre while it was in with them - turned out to be a cracked valve which they did repair for free.
So... any recommendations for good Cornwall garages with T25 experience please? We've just moved down. I've had a search and not found any other threads...
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Nick's Autos in Breage nr Porthleven is a good option. Honest bloke and lots of T25 experience. Really happy with the work he's done on mine.

Can’t thank you enough. Was about to resort to high street and cross fingers. Running out of time before MOT!

No probs, I was in the same position when I first took the van there! He's a good mech but more importantly for me he's not about ripping anyone off. Hope he can fit you in before the MOT
