AI Autosport / Evo Specialist

Thank you for that Colin, really appreciate it.
He's a good guy then i guess?
I just want to avoid someone sticking the arm in.

No he is 100% genuine, although hopefully he is still there though as I haven't been down in a few years, but I believe he is. Give him a call anyway.

 

[ShaunB]

Will do, thanks very much

His house was for sale, think it was actually sold when I drove past a few weeks ago?

I messaged him a while back about doing some work but said he was booked up til end of September!

He's still there, sale fell through with all the virus palaver.

 

[ShaunB]

I guess I go with Colin's advice, in that this job might just be not for him due to specialist work.

You could always give Jonny a call and see, but I would think he will be flat out.

Just make sure to avoid Specialist auto centre in Carrick.

Cheers

Cheers on the avoidance heads up, appreciate that a lot.

What is your reason for not liking Specialist? Jonny has pointed me towards them a couple of times when hes fully booked.

Seems he may be closed, not answering the phone.
Anyway, I'm daft.
Totally overlooked Eden car sales. I dealt with those guys for 10 years, purchased 4 brand new Impreza's and they took care of them.
That's where my daughters car is going.

He's incompetent, and an expensive one at that. I also went to him on a recommendation, and mine and my partners cars ended up worse than before I left them with him. When giving me the bill over the phone his favourite phrase was "are you sitting down?" For someone that was supposedly trained by Ferrari, he couldn't even get simple jobs right, even leaving dangerous faults. I wouldn't let him work on my car if someone else was paying.

Jonny is an old friend of John from Specialist auto Centre.

Doesn't normally answer a call I don't think, text him instead.

Doesn't listen to voice mail either by the looks of things.
What way is that to run a business.

 

[StevenMc29]

It's been a good few years since I used Jonny but text was always the way to go.

Going by his Facebook I'd say he's busy too!

Good guy, no bull ****. Being hard to get hold of is only testament to his work.

There may be crossed wires here, is this Jonny from AI, or the guy I recommend?

 

[ShaunB]

The guy from Kilroot

The guy from Kilroot

As I say it's been a few years since I was there, I'm thinking he may not be there now. He's not the type not to answer calls.

 

[EF Ian]

Is Jonny still working?

Cant find anything online and the number I had for him no longer works.

 

[Burt2000]

Nope, closed up shop a few months back. Might still do the odd bit in his spare time not sure tbh.

 

[EF Ian]

Well that sucks.

Who to use now for the few jobs too complicated to be done by myself.

 

[Burt2000]

I know! I’ve been waiting months on another specialist to do the timing belt and map the Subaru but I can’t even get a date

 

[EF Ian]

I guess there is Momentum Motorsports, but I am unsure of what they are like.

 

[Lyons]

What about Ricks Garage?

 

[nobby]

no longer offering garage services

 

[Turks]

What about Richard Bradley or Paul Wray?

 

[Samy888]

Richard Henning who was the mechanic for momentum motorsport has his own garage now, he does all the work for our cars & couldn’t reccomend him enough. PM me if you would like his number. Alternatively you will get him in searching Rick’s Garage on Facebook however he is a busy man and isn’t always active on there.
