Alpines in Oxon

Postby microsgialos » Sat Nov 14, 2009 3:34 pm

Can anybody suggest a good place for Alpine mechanical and/or electrical service within a healthy crow's flight of the Ox/Bucks border? Any local Renault dealers up to it? Cheers

Take your car to Clee Aka RATS, he has mine and has done some serious work on it, and I dont mind saying he is finally someone who knows what they are doing.

Give him a go if not drivable then use a transporter they are reasonable.

If you want any more info to sway then pm me.

You really really will not be disapointed :wink:

For the last 2 MOTs (which I always find a bit 'interesting' with an Alpine) I've used Didcot Auto Centre, which is also the Top Gear Technology Centre :lol:. They did really well at getting one of my rear brake callipers sorted out - sourced and fitted. They take the car seriously and are nearer and cheaper than my local Renault dealer, who are also pretty good for parts etc.
I haven't had to have DAC do anything too 'special', though, so I can't really make any comment on more complex stuff than the above - and we all know how invaluable experience like Clee's and Paul Sage's can be, not just in terms of cost but also in terms of actually doing the job properly.
