Does anyone know of a good independant or LC specialist garage in the Herts area? (I'm in Watford).

My Colorado 3.4 needs a "B" service soon and I'm looking for alternatives to the local main dealer. One that does keep cropping up is, Grosvenor Garage in Surrey (J11 M25), which is unfortunately too far.

Cheers.

P.S. I'm not a great DIYer....

VP Autos in Boxmoor used o be good, haven't had dealings with them, for a while though.

Plus this guy I used to do the timing belt on my Surf a couple of years ago and one of the local Surf importers uses him for all his serviceing. Real back street place but the guy knows his stuff.

Thanks Lucky.

Oddly enough, I've used VP Autos a few times for a car that I had a couple of years ago. Vince has expanded the place quite a bit in the last few years.

I'll give them both a ring and have a chat.

Cheers.

Good stuff. I know that Vince used to do a lot of work for the BP car fleet so he must be pretty good. Also Dave at the other place comes well recommended by me, rates were really reasonable and he knows his stuff with Toyota 4x4s especially Diesels.

Dave at Hertford Tyre & Exhaust Ltd.
I was pointed his way by another TLOC posting & really pleased for it.
Can't fault him or his team for expertise & value for money on what they've done & are doing to my LC90 (bought from Walton Motors of Cranleigh - see separate posting).
He's at 23/24 Dicker Mill Ind Estate, Hertford, Herts, SG13 7AE, tel 01992 503804, http://www.hertfordtyres.co.uk/.
Don't all rush, he's got my cambelt to sort first!
He may even take you drifting to Tesco in his hobby, a home-grown, properly sorted Ferrari-thrashing Mustang...

Thanks, I'll give him a ring once I've decided on what jobs I'm going to do DIY or otherwise.... Shocked  Rolling Eyes
