M&G Service Centre, Bradford, West Yorkshire (MG Rover Specialist)

Has anyone on here used this garage? If so can you recommend them?

Yes I can . Darren is a fantastic MG enthusiast and a great technician. I would certainly recommend him . For example , an old school friend of mine took his TF to Darren with a blown gasket . He stripped it down and found that it had been bodged previously and had suffered from dropped liners. He took all the liners out , shimmed them to the correct height and rebuilt it . The engine had done about 70 k and it ran sweeter than my low mileage TF .

I have no personal experience but I have never heard any thing bad and plenty of good reports.

Just picked up the TF after Darren replaced the drive shaft oil seals, Clutch fluid and alternator belt for me. As predicted excellent service. He was interested in the butchered seals which seemed inexplicable, as he doesn't consider them difficult to remove. He had to fettle the diff casing to sort some associated damage so I'm glad that I didn't try to tackle this job myself.

Looks like Darren has closed down, landline disconnected and website gone, a real shame. I was after a full cambelt service.

Rough Luck are booked up through to January. Any other recommendations for the West Yorkshire area? Garage or mobile.

MGtastic in Chaderton is the closest I can bring to mind. I've only delt with them once & that was for a part however he was knowledgeable & helpful. There was work going on & to a high standard, give them a bell : 07711 097597.
It's a shame when long standing companies pack up & go home but they have to make a living or they've just had enough of being buggered about with & I can't see there being many MG Rover cars in Bradford now. Last time I was through there it seemed that every forth car was a black BMW with blacked out windows, rusty Mercedes vans which had originally been white, black Mercedes also with blacked out windows, the rest were Prius taxis, usually silver.
Let us know how you get on with these guys, if you decide to use them. Sometimes even the keenest of spanner jockeys finds themselves out of their depth & if your within their catchment area & knowing they are reputable might just prevent accelerated hair loss & the need for Cobbers extended lexicon of profanity.

Thanks but MGT&TFBitz is nearer in Glossop. Just looking for recommendations for anyone closer to me, or any good mobiles that cover Yorkshire.

Interesting, I would have thought it would have been the other way around. Anyway let us know if you find anyone, thanks,
