i've used interpro and never had an issue with them, though i wouldnt ever get an engine built by them, as they seem to take their time.

as above i've used powerstation and happy with the results from them too

powerstation over interpro

what you need done?

I agree, i popped my head gasket on my cossie and took it to interpoo, they wanted to replace all sorts and pull my pants down, dragged it out and took it to Promax Motorsport in Pontardulais, turns out they are wankers aswell lol, let an apprentice time it up and did it wrong and stuffed my head got it sorted in the end but still a headache i didn't need.

Never hear a good word about interpro these days......every car that goes in there ends up with a list as long as your arm that's 'supposedly' wrong with it and needs replacing, and they know how to charge too!

My cars got loads of bills/receipts from Interpro from when the previous owner had it. One rolling road tune says BOOST SET to 18PSI (on standard S2 Bottom end!) resulting in pinking/det under load, resistor fitted. WTF does that mean The bill wasn't shy either seeing as it was form 12 odd years ago.

Powerstation i've heard good things about

I'm glad powerstation are good, when Dirk + Rich were in Norfolk they did some shit work.
Annoying thing was they were capable of good stuff, they just didn't have the "heart" at the time, mind you living in Norfolk I can understand that.

Interpro used to be good imo, they used to do a lot of the set ups on the guys from our local group, not sure what really happened but there were suddenly lots of stories about massive bills, real OTT fault finding and poor results, in the end, our guys stayed away.

Nowadays we use Powerstation for our rolling road days and the set up there is spot on, a few of the lads have had set ups done there and been pleased.

I would sooo love to take over Intepro and turn it into a decent outfit, as we dont have any real tuners in Bristol.

As premises go, its fine, with the 2wd and 4wd rolling road side by side, plenty of workshop space, good location etc etc.

Like i said, they used to have a great reputation, not sure where it went wrong really...
