Thumbs up John Hind motors Stockton.

Ive just had the car in for a oil service and whilst it was there I asked if they could replace the rubber hose on the clutch for the stainless steel braided one which I supplied.
Cost me £80.00 all in for the oil service and the fitting of the braided hose, they supplied the oil and filter .
Cheap as chips and a no fuss .
Cant recommend them enough.

Thumbs up

Stoney,

John did the same job on my car earlier in the year and I had a service carried out same time with cost being about what you paid can't remember exactly. I've used John's place for about 14 years and he has always been great with the two cars I've taken there, my old M635 (10.5 years) and the MC (3.5 years). No frills just straight forward good value for money with what he does.
David1975 takes his car there aswell and speaks highly of John's work on his car.

Stoney,

I first met John just after he'd left Cowie's (Now Preston hall) and was working at the other BMW establishment in Thornaby near the 5 Lamps. He gave me the best advice ever after I'd bought a E28 M5 (on recommendation of said establishment) - "Get shot of it" - I've never been back there since.
John didn't stay there long after that either and went on to set up on his own at industrial estate as you go towards the Yorkshire Dragoon before moving to his present location. I've been using him thoughout that period.
For bodywork John recommended me to Preston Farm Spray/Paint Shop, a lad call Brian. He does a great job, his main stream work is all the Mercedes and Range Rover dealership repair jobs from just up the road which has to be good recommendation. It's only a small place but he certainly gets some quality cars in there to work on.

I've looked at F of S but I miss it by a couple of days. I really enjoyed the event when I went about 6 years ago. May try for the Revival Meeting instead.
