Out of curiosity, has anyone used Technosport?

If so what was the verdict. :?

Yep used them to do a full inspection before I purchased my MC, George was pretty thorough and knows what he is doing. Would happily take my car there although its a bit too far for me to use from South London though.

Another vote for Walkers Autotech. they are good and their prices are reasonable, although 3 weeks on I am still awaiting their quotation to replace rusted brake pipes and something to do with a broken exhaust clamp. They did advise me that they have a backlog on quotations!

(Also, if you were to wait whilst the work is being done, the Bat & Ball pub just down the road does good food & drink!)

FYI,

Just got charged £105 by Technosport for a quick 20 min inspection on my car. (I brought it in as my car is making an odd squeaking noise at low speeds).

After 2 hours of waiting, turns out I need new dampers, springs and bushes :?

I’m not sure how I feel about the invoice as BMW Park Lane charge £39.99 for a full visual inspection...
