engine avantages charged me 280 quid plus vat to fit a head gasket on a engine that wasnt even in a car, the head and block where seperate and he told me he had to machine the face of the block,,i waited 3 fucking months for this to be done as i was told its hard work,, i supplied ALL the parts he charged me 280 plus vat and i paid it as i knew no different, this was at the time of ians mapping of hes car too as that was there when i dropped it off and when i went to collect it

xrt-si is VERY conservative when you find out he was charged 150 quid for a map thats FOC from omex,,,, for hes 2.0 t34 zetec engine,, he paied for a base map

he was given a 2.0 mondeo map for a N/A car with the map sensor readings turned off to allow it to run,,,, he was charged over 900 quid for shite that was never done,, hehad to take the car away to get a new flywheel and cps fitted as the car wouldnt start,, that was a 300 quid bill even though the car left as it arrived

he went back after getting the fly wheel to be told the car still dont start and theresa fuel pump wiring issue that they had to sort, they left the relays hanging in the passenger seat footwell

after me arguing with the stubborn cunt i booked him into MSD myself and fog marched him there and offered to take me back aswell as drive him back up there

hes cars never missed a beat,, stu didnt feel the car was safe to map due to the size and the chassis twisting when he was mapping it but done alot of other work which he never charged for

he got the car back and as you can tell hes converted !!!

alot of people here kiss stus arse and so people think its the clique why they would use him

i wouldnt call my self a mate of stus at all,,,, but kenny and stus work is unbelivable,,,,,, there attention to detail and high standards before they even touch the car,, its unreal

id never use anyone else either,,,, not cause they ain t no better,, just dont need to when hes more than up to the job

he also mapped my old cossie,,,,, that was spot on too and was holding 26.5 psi to the limiter in all gears

anyone whos got a stage 3 cossie take it there for a map and watch the difference


oh and how can i forget jim,,,, kenny worked on jims car from 10am till 7pm NON STOP eating a kebab in the footwell whilst redoing hes bodged wiring loom so he could drive home

they finish at 1 on a saturday,,,, they carried on to help him get home that day rathe than the usual " ill have to keep it here and you come back when its done" line most other garages use
