    Garage services

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    Morning everyone, I have an early 5 Turbo and was just wondering if any members can recommend or suggest a garage (ideally in the Kent area) that would be capable of servicing it and or dealing with any issues as they arise.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply Alex, I was rather hoping for somewhere a bit closer, I approached a Renault main dealer today to see if they would still support it, but after being kept on hold for 10 minutes i gave up.

    A couple of images as requested.

    Yes Paul Sage is probably your best bet. Its also worth speaking to Maxi man (Mark Wicks) in Westerham.
    John Price is expensive from what I've heard, although any option is better than a Renault main dealer.
    Where abouts in Kent are you?

    You could try Ash Simmonds. A & A Motorsport.
    They're in Tonbridge.

    07891 729946

    He's good with GT Turbos.

    Looks like a new car

    Ash Simmonds
    If it's the same one, I seem to recall a complaint about the quality of his work. I forget the details exactly. Might be able to find out.

    Thanks for all the comments guys.

    Its a nice original car, no paint or major parts, as far as I can tell.

    First one I have driven and it goes well for what they are.

    Appreciate the advice on servicing etc and have spoken to Paul Sage but sort of got the impression he was virtually retired now?

    Hope to catch up with a new fellow RTOC members over the summer.

    I could service it etc, however I think France is actually closer to you than I am.
