Hi - not seen too many independents/specialists discussed here - and of course google is your friend for finding businesses but I would like to hear anyones positive experiences of local independents ( I say positive because I think I read about a no name and shame policy on here).
I have done a little phoning around trying to get a feel for how the most local ones interact with potential customers with some interesting results (best shared on a club night) and I have had previous experience with one (but that was a lifetime - 15 years ago - with my 911 SC).
I plan on having my car a long time (last car I had for 15 years!) so a good working relationship with someone I can trust will be important, and I would rather not find out the hard way which ones are the "goto's" and which are the "stay clears".
I realise that one drivers hero is another's villain and mileage may very - but looking for some feedback from those that have gone before me.
Same goes for OPC's - already had some interesting and some good conversations with several of those.
All input gratefully received.
