I've been looking at Geoff Bloor Garages in West Bridgford to get my hybrid turbo repaired, and the unichip re-mapped. Does anyone have any experience of his work, good bad or ugly?

Cheers,
Alex

Thumbs up

Used him a long - long - (10 yrs ) ago.

He was very good then - difficult to comment now though?

Thanks, that's got to be encouraging, he'd (hopefully) have gone out of business in ten years if he weren't any good!

Cool

Alex,

let us all know how you get on with them. I live just round the corner from them and never knew they did that kinda stuff!

What sort of hourly rate ae they and how much are they charging for the work?

Cheers,

Andy

Bearings and seals for the turbo (CT26 stage 2 Hybrid from Owen's) about 250, hour or two of RR time for the Unichip map about sixty odd and 34/hour for labour to remove/refit turbo. Seems very reasonable, we'll see what the work's like.....
