He has done more than his fair share of RS's.

What do you mean by RS tuner though ? someone that only does RS's ? I think you will be hard pressed to find one of them

Jg is an awesome engine builder/tuner but a bit serious for any road car also he is mega expensive and is very hard to even get to see him..
Id like to say we are good at looking after our customers and at a very competitive price!!

ZetecHerb, theres only one man local that does my servicing work, and little jobs and hes on our doorstep in Copthorne.

other than that, my Escort is tuned and kept thru Martoon, and the FRS will be done thru Harvey Gibbs.
im not saying there is anything wrong with the other tuners more local, its just who im happy to use.

Iv always wondered why someone like yourself kelv and other locals go all the way to birmingham and or perborough instead of using us but then i suppose martoon and others wonder why anyone from thier area would come to us??
No digs at anyone just makes me wonder??
I know martin and or harvey do a great job but also know we could offer many of the same services for the same costs or if not cheaper...

Totally agree ! his website is simply great he never batters an eye lid to give help on how to do the job you need doing instead of saying bring it down and ill bum rape you on a quote.

Seems a honest down to earth guy.

he has been at Copthorne motor company from the day it opened and is still there now.
the only mechanic the owners wanted to keep when they sold off the ford plot by 3 bridges station and set up CMC.

hes not a tuner, just a good all round mechanic for decent servicing and help.

Strange thing to say!! How do you know you'd be cheaper? Do you not use the same quality parts or something?

It wasnt a strange thing to say at all martin,infact i only used yours and harveys name as an example so dont take it personally mate..

I didnt say i know id be cheaper either i said we would be the same price if not cheaper on some things but what is strange is the fact you think there could be inferior parts used!!

Id like to think that anyone having anything done these days knows what theyre getting when they pay for it and i would never do anything any different to that so no of course i wouldnt use anything different to the real article be it a set of pistons or an ecu or anything else for that matter..

Danny you guys are relatively new on the scene compared to ourselves or martoon, so some people may prefer to go to a well planted company with top reputation

Not saying you have not

Not to mention customers use one tuner, are always happy with their work so there is no need to change for the sake of an hour drive,

Bit like andy g driving 7hours or so for his engines lol!

It must be near 20 years, I'm 19 and he was in his first unit as scs around the time I was born

Yes 499. Something bhp on a dyno back in the day!

He said it was lagg and came in very hard ats all I remember, sounds about right lol, I'll ask him how long it lasted,

I know he used to kill standard breaks with it though and could have them glowing from town to work which is about five miles

Stu @ CMC is a top chap and a very good mate, I was his best man when he got married many years back.

I don't know him personally but I do know who you mean by Barry now, I just didn't know his name.
He lives litterally a road or so away from me.
