Was going to Guava, Wimbledon get 👍
And many thanks to Guava (some say they are called Hunters but they are still Guava to me and in my phone ), they squeezed me in for some work at very short notice and have done a bang up job.
Car is driving like a dream and is now ready for its next jolly to the LR Party & the Pyrenees.
Once again, many to Will and his team.

I'm putting too many miles on the old girl going to far flung parts of the continent on jollies! 6,300 mile trip to top of Scandinavia didn't help. Was looking at getting back from Spain over the interval so didn't want to limit myself in Spain. They say Sierra Nevada is nice this time of year.
Only chance to get mini service (oil & filter plus fuel filter) done was yesterday or today so very happy that Will could juggle stuff around.

At the moment they seem to be fighting off price hikes and so on from Hunters, the discount for forum members is now 10% not 15%, but to e fair it is how good they are with the cars that matters most.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

I might have made up the difference in the discount percentage in biscuits.

I'm heading over to the mainland from Guernsey, next month, and am looking to get the belts changed on an '07 D3 (yep, overdue in years but the car's new to me!). I'm struggling, with reviews, to find somewhere to get it done that will do the job properly (and change the oil pump if needs be). I'd been checking out Guava but a real mixed bag of reviews. I'll be based, for my second week, in South London so Guilford IS a possibility. Would everyone recommend them, or are there any other suggestions (looked at RRLondon, but they never call back).
Obviously, as I'll be back to the island after a fortnight, I don't need any hassles in completing the work, but I'm getting stressed now the vehicle is at 92k miles.

Give Will (the boss there) a ring & discuss what you need and your concerns.
