(I'm not joking) Viv at Vtech. can anyone beat this
no, cos either AK does it here at home, or we go to someone who IS reliable. I think anyone accepts that some jobs/people can run over time occasionally but when some are known to take an excessively long time to complete a job however good they are, there will always be somebody else who can meet your requirements somewhere.
We do our own engine work & lots of other stuff at home, but otherwise for the 'extras' we would only go to:

Nelly @ Cornerspeed for Ducati stuff (yes, its still worth travelling to him from Surrey)
Mark @ MHP for zaust & engineering work (just need to keep on top of him for time scales, and its handy we are local to do that)
Wraysbury Tyres for our rubber needs as Steve is sooooo good
Nine Lives in Farnborough for leather work (zips/repairs etc)
Buttons at West End, Chobham for leather boot sorting (saddlers)

AK & I have a bit of a list of good people we just wont use anymore due to their timescale estimates being extreme to say the least......

Grunt needs to crack a whip methinks FB
