I have only seen their arch work once - and it seemed alright. However any other work - like wiring, alarm 'installation' and other odds and sods are pretty naff to be honest. Which is why I never get anything done there - but my mug friends keep going back.

Funny that............Tony who fits all the alarms etc is the only man i trust to do the wiring on the cossie, or any of my cars infact.

Seems to depend on whether you know him personally - as the last time wiring was done on a friend's punto - all the wire's were just run from inside the car to the door - i.e. not through where the rest of the wires go but were just hanging loose and getting shut in the door - all the membrane was ripped to shreds and stuck together with tape. Might be more than one guy doing it in fairness.

If it's Tony, best of luck. I had my Clifford ripped out after he installed it, and had it refitted by someone who actualy took care!

Rob - if yuo're there Saturday, maybe a little mini meet up

Told him before.

I inspected the wiring personally when Tony worked at Xtreme (as it was fitted there), and it was a bodge job of the highest order.

I know the boys in R-Tec pretty well, but I'm not gonna hide shameful work because I know them!
