Thought they may have as the last time i was there they wasnt interested in zetec turbos and the like and i thought to myself that they needed to move on and stop being too old skool, saying that everything that they did to my car was sweet never had a complaint just that they werent willing to move on in tech etc

My mate went in a few weeks ago with his saph and was talking to some of lads. Defo finished as Castle we all knew it. He got some of the old stickers

The lads who used to work for castle that are now with the new place said they where just charging to much when compared to other people. Think the new place is called RB motorsport but dont quote me on that, Got a card off mate some where but cant find it.
