Default well lane?

My mate has a 4x4 saff cossie and wants it tuning. The closest place to us (middlesbrough) is well lane but have heard there a bit on the wank side. If anybody has dealt with them and can say otherwise it would be nice to know or can recomend anyone else in our area. tar very mush

I've heard mixed reports about there aswell. There's always Alwyn Kershaws (sp) just outside York. A few of my mates take their cars there.

I have used Well Lane a few times with my RS Turbo. If you get Barry (I used to specifically request him) there not too bad and they did set my car up fairly well, I never had any real problems.

BUT I now use Karl Norris and he pointed out lots of things which Well Lane missed and I would say Karl is 3 times as good!!!!

Personally I wouldn't take my car back cos I've found someone better

What about Jamsport? They seem to have a very good reputation and are fairly close to you (Northhampton)

hope this helps

Dunno m8. Had my old cossie rebuilt there a couple of years back and was happy with it. Brought my new one up for an oil change in october but am having work done else where.

One thing he use to tell me is he didnt believe in rr's.
