915.2 | Word of caution .... | VOGON::KAPPLER | John Kappler | Wed Jan 10 1990 09:23 | 8 |
| Slightly different aspect.....
I believe there is a rule against servicing and repairs being carried
out in the DECpark car park, unless the vehicle has broken down there.
Hate to see you get into trouble.....

Thanks John, but I've not seen anything displayed/published........
Anyway, I eventually called out ENGINE CLINIC who arrived within
two hours. Full 57 point tune-up service for 28.00 + Vat.
(parts if required Xtra). Car now OK.

915.4 | Need a tune up. | FIZGIG::BIGGINM | Interplanetary� Explorer Extraordinaire! | Wed Apr 15 1992 11:58 | 11 |

Has anyone had there car tuned by one of these mobile places recently?
I've read the last few notes but they are a little out of date, so does
anyone know of a decent mobile-tune place and can I get the work done
in the DECpark car park?
Cheers,
Matt.

I had my car tuned about 3 months ago.This was done by Paul Lucas
(I found out about him through notes)he did a very good job,and it gave
my old car (the Nova) a new lease of life(almost).He has a great
interest in cars,as he does a bit of rallying on the side,he also
explains alot about what he's doing,which is useful to a novice like
myself.
His number is on the system somewhere,if
you don't find it give me a call as is i've got it buried somewhere.
Hope this has been of some help

Pauls number is: 0734 323007
mobile: 0836 534020
(The name is Engine Clinic)
He does our cars, including the NG TC V8.
He races his own dutton in sprints and hillclimbs, and now has another
car which he rallys.

Thanks very much for the number I'll give him a bell this afternoon, do
you know roughly how much it will cost?
Cheers,
Matt.
BTW: I mat get it done tommorrow as I don't fancy standing in the rain
for 30 mins much!

915.8 | Cost. | REPAIR::ATKINS | | Wed Apr 15 1992 14:34 | 7 |

I'm sure it costs about 25-40 pounds.It's 25pounds for the tune,and
then he sticks extra on for parts,such as spark-plugs.
I hope all goes well tomorrow.
Andy.

915.9 | Coming tommorrow. | FIZGIG::BIGGINM | Interplanetary� Explorer Extraordinaire! | Wed Apr 15 1992 15:01 | 12 |

I've given him a bell and booked it in for Thursday morning so if you
see a weeping Mini owner sulking around DECpark tommorrow you'll know
he found something wrong!
He reckoned on price it's about 30+ pounds for the tune-up and extra
for parts +VAT, oh and that's with a little DIGITAL discount.
Cheers,
Matt.

Ken Bell (of Fleet) also runs a Hometune service - besides his normal
garage services, particularly as an 'Alfa Specialist'.
I believe they have worked on cars (not mine) at Digital premises before.
If his mobile work is as good as his in-house stuff, then I would
highly recommend him (and his mechanics)...
Their number is 0252 629159 (maybe another number for Hometune, but
the phones are at the same desk).
If anyone does call him for work, do me a favour and say that I
gave the recommendation (John Rutter, owner of an Alfa GTV6).
Note that I have no connection with this company, other than being
a [satisfied - even if broke :-( ] customer of theirs.
