Thumbs up Xspec Motorsport Hinckley

Can anyone tell me if they have ever heard of XSpec Motorsport in Hinckley, or if they have used them. I am thinking of using them, and just wanted to gather as much info as i can, before i take my pride and joy there. thanks in advance.

have spoken to them before, when considering entering the Subaru Cup/Nippon Challenge, as they prep a few of the cars.

Decided not to in the end, but they were very helpful and gave plenty of info!

Thanks for all your help lads. From what i have read so far, i think i shall be taking my motor there. To be honest i met Graham's son recently and he was extremely helpful. I am probably like most Scooby owners, i just want the very best for my motor as i have had so many bad previous experiences! Thanks again. Laters

All I can say from experience is avoid at all costs!

Biggest mistake I have made in all my years of car ownership.

Don't do it!
There are many other reputable specialists.

Hello Craig, thanks for your input. So what experience have you had with Xspec then to make you feel so strongly towards them?

i have used graham / xspec afew times, i used them for my last brake replacement, had 4 discs and pads replaced with braided hoses etc and they did a good job at a good price tbh. the knowledge of these guys is very good and u could stand there all day talkin about mods etc and the advice is endless ..... just my experience, i live in hinckley and also have rcm within 5 miles, so im spoilt for choice lol.
