Renault specialist recommendations plz. Hants

[Andy_]

So, I was going to send my car to k-tec racing in Poole, Dorset. Apparently they're renault specialists. I need a complete engine rebuild, was quoted £2k, give or take £500. I spoke to the owner on Tuesday, he said I should expect a call from the tow truck same day to arrange to collect the car from my house.
No call. So I call them Wednesday, some guy says he's got loads on, is too busy and will arrange the towtruck today. No call today.
Plus I typed k-tec racing review into google, and it's not all good news. Can anyone recommend a decent garage on the south coast? If they can't even arrange to collect my car, I'm worried how I will get it back after parting with a huge wad of notes.
Maybe I'm wrong, if anyone's dealt with them, let me know.
Thanks

For 2k why don't you DIY that way you will know how to love your 5 for ever :) that's what most of is have done.. I built mine for half that :)

As above Diy it yourself, drop Mike aka Phase i 16v turbo, or contact any southern area rep and see if they will rebuild it for a small fee :agree: Clearly parts on top. And you will get a decent motor back:agree:

Haven't heard anything from Tony (fishead) for a long time, guess he is still doing 5s. if u don't want to do it yourself he is local and very good.

[phase i 16 v turbo]

He is still going strong.

ktec are so overpriced. If you really don't want to do it yourself then a member on here would take it on im sure and even with sorting them out it will come out a lot cheaper, or mike at gt turbo spares now does rebuilds

Noticed you're in Southampton Andy. If you decide to go the DIY route, I don't mind coming over to lend a hand here 'n there. I'm no guru, but I've built a couple of engines in the past before.

If you'd prefer to pay someone, Mike/Tony are your guys. :)

2K is alot of money for a rebuild! As others have said go the DIY route with a member, you'll learn loads :)

Save yourself about a grand too!!
