Guest imranmalikuk Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Well the time has come for my Supra's first service. I'm based in Manchester and not sure which way to turn. Is it worth paying the inflated prices of the toyota garage or are there any recommended 'specialists' in the area? (I would suspect Toyota as Supra's up here are few and far between.)

paulfurn Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Unfortunately Im not sure of any local to you (or me for that matter). I havent got a Supra yet (still on ship) but heard nothing but good things from people whove taken their cars to Chris Wilson. Im planning to take mine there for a health check if and when mine finally docks! He's based in Shropshire which isnt a million miles from you depending on the route. People have made 400+ mile round trips there from around the country so that should say it all really! Details are (from sig): Chris Wilson. Race and performance road car servicing/preparation in north Shropshire. Home / Work : 01948-841581 Mobile: 07971-952084 Please use direct e-mail, rather than PM's, thanks! [email protected] No doubt someone else will be able to better inform you if there are any other reputable guys more local to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi mate, I'm in Manchester (near the Trafford Centre), I've not had a proper service yet, been changing the oil and filter myself, but I'm due a timing belt change soon and I'm gonna take it to Chris Wilson. Reckon he's about an hour away from here. So whereabouts in Manchester are you? Did you know about the monthly Mascrat Manor (M6 J21) meet? There should be a few of us going to the next one on the evening of the 14th June if you fancy coming down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imranmalikuk Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Chase, Cheers for the invite I grew up in Old Trafford, work in Irlam and now live in Altrincham. I'm quite new to the world of Supra but reckon I'll have to check out the Mascrat Manor get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I used to live in Gatley, between Stockport and Altrincham, and own property in Urmston, so i do the trip regularly. About 1 hour to me here here near Whitchurch, just into Shropshire. 30 minutes from Oulton Park. I do everything excpet bodywork on the MKIV. I had 2 customers come up from kent at the weekend, so you are but a cocks stride away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hey Chris, I live in Flixton. Ever drink in Wetherspoons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 No, not been there, in fact if you saw "my" boozer you'd not be very impressed, but it is out in the sticks, and has several admiral qualities (like it rarely follows UK licensing laws), and there are often as many dogs in there as people, sometimes MORE dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
