Yup, an overdue thank you from me too.

After I bought my chip from Ant, I had to call him a good few times to bombard him with daft questions, which he willfully answered. He's always been unbelievably helpful and friendly on the phone, and nothing's too much trouble for him.

Top man indeed !!

Ahh but even with a chip it's not up to take on the mighty iS hey George :p

(Ok - I've had enough mileage out of this one now - I'll leave you alone mate lol :thumb:)

And slightly more on topic - Ant - a great zoner and business man. Was the first guy I spoke to in real life from the zone a couple of years back and he helped me above and beyond -- I say this more out of appreciation and respect, rather than to encourage others to impose on his generosity :)

Once again, another great job on my car in sorting out a replacement steering rack, wheel bearing and driveshaft. An absolute horror of a job, superbly done.

Thanks again Ant!

Popped over to A-tech today to pick up a chip for my 87 325, Ant not only fitted the chip while I was there but he noticed that my starter motor was on the way out and gave me a replacement one! Top quality service and a top fella, I will definitely be going back...

Oh, and the chip is great, Thanks Ant.

Picked up an lsd from Ant over the weekend. As always I got top notch service from Ant, although he was just shutting up shop for the day he still had time for a good chat and to give me a few handy tips for my forthcoming rear beam replacement.

Always a pleasure, thanks very much Ant.

More positive feedback from me I'm afraid.

Bought a car that needed a good going over not having been serviced for 4 years and wanted a complete sort out and MOT.

Very helpful, very friendly, very patient with my daft questions, very good.

He also ended up charging me a bit less than we agreed.

Having had some shoddy service from specialist BM garages in the past this was a very welcome change.

Recommended!

cheers, simon

Been thinking of returning to Florida for more money, no tax and CHEAP cars, bikes and fuel but..
I got caught up with an E30.
No probs then, loads of rust free ones there but no Ant to fix them.
I'm staying in Kent till he emigrates :wink:

Collected a shelf+blind this afternoon,

not only was it in good nick, looks the business and good value for money, but Ant is also the purveyor of quality advice, without which I'd still be faffing about with the roof clips!!!!

Top man, thanks bud, will be back again!

recently had a full inspection 2 and check round on new-to-me E30, then back again for some welding, engine dampers, rear arb.
because it's Ant I know where I stand with my new purchase, that everything's that's needed doing has been done right - all the expertise, no bs, massive value for money, goes above and beyond.
always a pleasure.

Met Ant for the first time sunday, got some 17" wheels off him.

They were actually better in the flesh than the pictures!!!

Then had a cuppa and a 2 hour chat about what i need to do to my 2.8 build.

This man has my utmost respect for being friendly, knowledgeable and good to his one.

Nice on Ant. Now to put plasticine in my engine!
