Any experience with Zed Shed?
- Thread starter skmattwell

I've used Mike a lot of times on my Z4. I'll agree he can sometimes be difficult to get hold of but i can't fault his work or his knowledge once you're there. I personally think like all mechanics it comes down to preferring working on the cars rather than his admin.

Because he's the only person who does hydraulic steering conversions to my knowledge. Will try again tomorrow and give up, looks like all the parts will be up for sale soon
As commented in a post above, Mike is also someone who is very busy and not the best at communication - it can take me several attempts to get a response (and my number's in his phone...)
Litterally all of the above along with Whatsapp since December. I think it's beyond the point where he's just been too busy to check his messages and he's actively avoid me
Anyway thanks for all the suggestions, have read out to the Basingstoke zed shed on Facebook, hopefully they might lend a hand
I used Zed shed for the first time last week. I bought a front bumper, two doors, two wings and two side skirts for a great price. He opened on the Saturday for me as I couldn’t collect during the week.
I initially made contact via WhatsApp. I have heard he is extremely busy, but I managed to converse with no issue.

A mate of mine used Mike a few years ago and had nothing but praise for the service he received.
He's gone to the dark side now (Merc) but is still getting the odd mailshot from him. I'm pretty sure he said Mike was in the process of setting up a mobile unit.

I saw that yes, an X5 in that case that lost the chain on the way back. Seemed they were more upset about the “diesel” word then the actual review as an assumption was made it was a Z4
Yep, I have seen that before. Any criticism of the Zed Shed and the post gets removed.

I'm still about, I do have a normal day job so the original Zedshed is still going strong on the side, currently booked up till early next year with engine swaps, 6 speed conversions and other 70's JDM cars to restore, I/we do all sorts now. Been going since 2013 well before Mike started muddying the name.
Not the first dissatisfied customer, there have been many, I also noticed that negative posts on the Facebook Group get deleted whoever the admins are must have some connection with him, I avoid the Facebook sites they seem full of idiots judging by a lot of the posts I see. Stick to this Forum and the Zroadster forum

Is he a real scouser though? He didn't sound like it to me...more of a 'woollyback'!He’s a scouser so it’ll all be somebody else’s fault….
But as I've said previously, my two visits (1st at DLV towers, 2nd at the lock-up) a long time ago were fine...and it seems he's moved to bigger premises since then.

They both look the same now, I have the same problem
What's a 'Woollyback'?
