I can recommend a couple of lads that have just started up in Wakefield called Neil and Stuart. They have a garage on the Thornes industrial estate in the area. Neil was my dads apprentice and Stuart is a Friend of my dads. They are actually Jaguar specialists but will takle anything. They have all the diagnostic equipment for the Stilo's and can reset the service computer etc. They have recently changed the cambelt on my Dad's 1.9 jtd and on my sisters 1.9JTD. Also done my 1.8 petrol. They were way cheaper than Picadilly. Picadilly quoted £540ish for service and cambelt change. I got the genuine parts from GGB at Bradford (who Neil and Stu now have the number for) which cost £120 and they did the work for £115 including service computer reset. By my reckoning that makes them £300 cheaper. Stu is an electronics expert with cars aswell so like I said they will takle anything.:slayer::slayer::slayer:
I know what you are saying about Picadilly, after the family dealing with them now for 13 years and buying 13 cars off of them they have gone down hill on their customer service bigstyle. We had a very simalar experience with them recently and will never deal with them again. Mainly down to my dads motor constantly going back in for repair after shoddy repair made by them. In the end they refused to work on the car as they acused us of sabotage.
As though we liked taking the car back to them every week for the same repair they fixed the week before. I kid you not £10500 worth of warranty claims and car returned to them 85 times! Not good at all.
