Looking for early 911 specialists in Midlands

Post by Mountainpass »

Does anyone happen to know of a good early 911 specialist in the Midlands.

Or suitably experienced company to arrange an independent appraisal of my car.

Cheers

Wanaka

You've got to be careful how you say that!

After working with a number of specialists, Two Plus Two is the best operation in the UK. Unless they can't do the job, I won't take the car anywhere else.

I think the geography part of the question is a bit vague as the midlands is a large place. Those with positive experience of their local independent will always sing their praises. It may be an interesting excercise to ask for PM's about places you wouldn't use in the midlands...

There are other specialists in the midlands whom I'm sure could help, Shirleys and PCT for example, but I've never used these so can't personally reccomend them.

I would agree with the PM on who one wouldn't use. I know a few of them.
