Alpine GTA MOT and repairs North London

Postby thebigapple2 » Mon Apr 02, 2012 12:46 am

I am moving too Bowes Park North London. Near Bounds Green. The Alpine is due for rego and will need some brake work to get through. Any recommendations for Alpine friendly garages in that area or near by?
Thanks

You could try Renospeed. They are mainly Renault 4 specialists but the owner is also familiar with Alpine as he owns an A310. I've seen some of his restoration work and it's first class. Here's their link. Certainly worth a call.

I guess your closest person would be Mr Sage:

If your prepared to travel RATS in Derby is your best bet :wink:

Mr Law and Mr Sage are your only real options although simple stuff could be OK at Kingfisher in Billet road Walthamstow (not far from you).
Grahams a good guy and a Renault specialist. Plus he knows the 'older' cars but I doubt he's seen enough GTAs ever to feel comfortable if things start going pear shaped.
