Rover Garages

fj1200 · 16th July 2012, 11:22

Is there a list anywhere that gives Rover specialist garages? I'm sure there's 2 or 3 not too far away from me but can't find anything. Don't want to trust my P&J to anyone, and would like someone who really knows to have a once-over at it and let me know what needs/will soon need doing and give it a service.

@eurorover - I suppose I should have seen that! But I have a link on my browser that brings me direct to the forums so I don't see the front page.

@Razzer - that was the one I saw but couldn't remember the name. I worked in Spalding for a few years and wifeys family are from that area, so I know it fairly well. I'll give 'em a ring. Do we get a club discount? (Well, I had to ask!)

Thanks guys.

Do we get a club discount? (Well, I had to ask!) if you buy parts from eurocarparts online,you get 25% off anything over £20 apart from clutches (15%)

Beware, though - not every garage which specialises in Rovers is kosher.

One, near me, specialises more in taking the mickey. I went there when I thought Auntie was suffering head gasket problems, and they laughed and quoted me over a thousand pounds for it. They said it was gazillions of hours of work, and they charge £70 per hour; that's without the parts which, no doubt, they'll get dirt cheap and sell on for top whack.

Dropping it into WH Brand tonight - they've been there for years and have a good reputation.
