Took my 106 GTI there for an idle problem an give them dues they fixed spot on after other north east tuners could not.

But when i asked about gettin it booked in for a uni chip to be fit and the reply " yeah no problem thing is we will need your car for 4 days " never went back after that. After that i promised myself to stop being lazy an take me car miles away to get tuned properly

Heard good things years ago, but not so good more recently (bit sloppy and lazy), some people i know just take theirs to Well Lane Turbo Centre and their cars are spot on, so worth the drive.
No point makin a comprimise (sp) and lettin some monkey loose on ya car for it to still need settin up/fixed later anyway

I would steer clear of r&p mate,3 rst engines blown within 100 mile and a newly painted car had the bonnet come up whilst they road tested it(to be fair they did reapir that). Would also steer clear of well lane,heard nothing but bad things about that place.
IMO its worth the extra mileage going to MSD

oh dear oh dear tried to ring the tel no I have for Dicko several times about 3 weeks ago but no reply. Dicko has my mobile tel no and we have an answer phone at the workshop and WE DO pick the messages up off it. I am sorry you feel like that Sarah but I am not that hard to get in contact with. Anyway good luck in the future.
