Recomended (performance Jap) Mechanic - Midlands

Bicepo · 8 May 2011 at 21:01

Hi there,

I recently purchased a Celica GT4 and am looking to have it serviced. I will be going the whole hog on the service so belts tensioners water pump and oil etc will need to be done. I want to take it to someone that is known to be reliable, cost of the work doesn't bother me to much as long as they know their way around a tuned Jap motor.

Any help or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Have you considered Toyota? There supposed to know a thing or two about the Celica

I take my import Supra twin turbo to the local dealer for servicing and have never had a problem.

this is far more than a service and a dealer wont have seen many GT4s even back in the day, id be impressed if anyone there had worked on a GT4 in depth

Garage local to me has done a lot of work on JAP cars and is pretty good with fair prices.

Did a bit of work on my Supra when I had it. No complaints, knew their way around the car very well and the price was good. Even bought me lunch once

Saw various Jap metal in and out and has a monster Supra too.

Avoid Thor racing, had bad experience with them previously.

I can recommend my Dad, the resident Jap expert for Nuneaton, Haddon Motors.

Second thumbs up for Thor, they've done all the work on my MR2 and have always given me great service.
