Trusted Garages In Cornwall

Post by Barry 2017 » Tue Mar 28, 2017 10:21 pm

Hi all, I am new to this forum just today :-). I have just bought a 1999 MGF 1.8 118hp...it is my first MG and I am wondering if anyone can recommend a trusted garage or mobile mechanic. I am in the Helston area...also if anyone has any general advice re maintenance that would be great... thanks all...

Hi and welcome.
To be honest, I am not sure now, but sure someone will pop along with ideas :)

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

I know it's a bit far from Helston but I can recommend James at Kelliwik Garage in Kelly Bray, Callington
(23 Beeching Park, Kelly Bray, Callington PL17 8QS Phone: 01579 381081), he looks after both my MGF & my son's TF.

its well worth travelling to somewhere that is good, and has been recommended (I travel up to Austin Garages in Burton on Trent for mine)

Thank you for this...my Nan lives in saltash so perhaps could make it a bit of a trip to see her and get car done... cheers...

Tim Kelly MG in St Agnes comes recommended on some Forums. Not sure if that's close to you.

It's not that far in miles.
I know of Tim Kelly, but not sure how much he does with the F and TF 8-)

I too have used James Scown in Lanceston, and I live over the boarder! He is a great guy, very knowledgable & his prices are very good.
