Title: Osaka Toyota Specialists?
Post by: Dave Angel on May 30, 2024, 19:25
Evening all,

Anyone used the above? Looking for someone to check over my 2zz and these look the closest to me...

Or Bonsai in Western Super Mare??

I don't think Bonsai Garage are still going. No website and social media very out of date.

I'm in a similar situation of not knowing a good mechanic with ideally an interest in the MR2, in the Bristol area. I'd be interested if you find anyone.

It was years ago that Bonsai closed, I think he left to look after a private fleet of cars.

The only MR2 specialists anywhere near would be Castle Eaton near Cirencester or MrTwos in Willenhall.

Very few specialists still going now.

Can confirm Andy @ Bonsai closed down many years ago now.

I'm going with him to Le Mans soon, will let him know that there is still a lot of demand for his skills!

Likely "idle" curiosity made me have a look on the www and I found TBDevelopments:

Located in the heart of the UK we're 10 miles from Junction 6 of the M5 to gain easy access.:

Further idleness found for Hertfordshire :

Cheers for the reply - I did contact TB Developments who have good reviews but he seems to be snowed under with jobs at the moment....
