I last used them about 6 years ago when I was running my first 944 lux auto.
They were pretty good overall and reasonable rates but when I moved to Chester geography dictated that I needed someone more local so I began using Bob Lewis, a BMW and Porsche specialist, he uncovered quite a few gremlins which Steve Lodge hadn't unearthed. Needless to say once I'd got those sorted with Lewis's, the 944 ran as sweetly as a nut and the difference really was noticeable.
So Lodge were ok but for me they missed a few things that another specialist picked up on as par for the course. They had a 944 or two in whenever mine was having work done, but they were always track cars.

If you are thinking of going to Manchester from Sheffied it's not much further to Bolton, and Hartech.
Still, my current provider of any necessary mechanical 944-related TLC is Promax, and the car lives in North Yorkshire, so I guess we are in the same boat. Except I get some pretty bits to drive through before I pass Sheffield

Steve Cheethams alright, but Lodge Sports disappeared when, I think, his father died. The garage was taken over by other people who didnt maintain the name and Steve kept a small office at the end of the building. He ran a clamping firm, I believe. Ive noticed that he is selling parts on eBay using the name and I wondered whether hed taken the garage back too.
Hartech are good and theres a tech in Ramsbottom near to Buttercup who is well regarded. Theres also a firm in Barnsley called Euro-something.
