Guys very new to the GTR family just looking for some recommendations Litchfield is closer for me but also hear some great reports about seven valley, need to book the car in for a horrible noise from n/s/f wheel between 5 to 20 mph sounds really bad
also clutch relearn?,full service.. thank in advance .

Similar result for me, for fitting new front brake pads (which I was supplying) was told there would a small charge - fair enough. "Small charge" turned out to 1 full hours' work (90 quid from memory) ... bye bye
After going there for first service and Stage 1 I have had no reason to look elsewhere as I'm very impressed with the service, knowledge, professionalism and advice. Will be using them for 4th time in May.
If it's small stuff location is important.
I rate Litchfields but I am not going to drive for 3+ hours for a job that takes an hour or two.
SVM may do good work but the way they have come across on this forum previously means I just wouldn't take my car there.
No matter how good they are. They aren't the only trader I feel like that about though, so it's not a personal thing against just SVM.
I'm just glad we have Kaizer Motor in the South East.
I do most work on the car myself inc engine and box removal, turbo fitting etc, I have used Litchfields and found them very professional however Im a firm AC Speedtech fan for anything I cant do on the car myself even though its 500 mile round trip, cars there now having a forged motor and clutches uprated.
To answer the question out of the 2 - Litchfields, had very bad experiences with SVM. Litchfield's are a great bunch and although I'm not a proper customer, have a good relationship with them.
The other two to consider:
1. JM Imports (Look after my car).
2. Acspeedtech (Great bunch of guys).
ac speed tech , fantastic set of lads , every one and i mean everyone knows what they are taking about, ( brewing up is shite though ......) litchifield had no experince with them but i have just spent a lot of money with them and upto now the process has been good and very well handled. lots of positive comments on this forum.
I've only ever used Lichfields in fact I bought my last GTR off them ,I've always had great service from everyone their, so I have no reason to take my car anywhere else
Thanks all for your honest opinions great advise much appreciated, anyone got a link for a tidy diagnostics
Machine that I could possibly perform a clutch learn on ?
It's Litchfield for me if you're not happy about something they go out of their way to fix it.
Ian it's top guy knows his stuff and Nill is always happy to look after you and show you around
Having had an extremely poor experience with Lichfield’s I wanted to hear people’s opinions on Severn Valley and found this thread. They don’t sound anything special so am considering AC Speedtech now for the service which is due next month.
Still a bit of a hike from Sheffield but probably a little closer than Lichfield’s.

I've got a service booked in with acspeedtech in a couple of weeks. I went there a couple of months ago re bellhousing issue and found them to be very friendly. Another gtr specialist told me that I would need new bushes, bellhousing, prop shaft and rear drop links. Got a second opinion from acspeedtech and they advised only the drop links have a slight play and strictly speaking even they didn't need changing immediately. Everything else mentioned by the other gtr specialist was fine and didn't need changing. I will certainly be using them going forward.
Threads like this make me laugh (I know it's an old one!) as people never seem to factor in the value of their own time and will spend a fiver to save a quid. All the well known tuning companies have their good, and bad points, so it's all about finding one that you can have a relationship with. They're all businesses, at the end of the day, so are there to make money, not offer charitable services.
I have a shop myself and AC built my forged engine as I was between shops, but I would not attempt to build a hi spec 35 motor, my partner Dimitri would do that as well as any heavy trans work. The guys have my motor back due to an unforseen problem nothing to do with them, they are the ONLY shop I would consider using at all no matter what the distance. Without a doubt the nicest most honest bunch of guys ive come across ! On a par with myself and Dimitri :tard:
service is great, cost is fine and always is helpful on showing you what is being done and why
:thumbsup:
