No problems, cannot understand why Mark would say that either, I shall have a chat with him as we know each other.

On a positive note our twentieth could include a large possible Maserati run, details are not clear but it would be interesting to see what sort of interest there could be.

Born in Kensington but spent my youth in Richmond, moved here 25 years ago. I’m only person in my street that hasn’t converted their garage :)
When I moved to Wimbledon (centuries ago) my garage had been converted - I converted it back to a garage :) (but never kept a car in it)

Hi, it’s Mathew the owner of Giallo, to be clear we are very much in business with currently planning our twentieth birthday next year. Sadly these type of rumours can be catastrophic for a business,so please ignore them.
Rumours of your demise, etc. Happy to hear it, Mathew!

Perfect. Thanks for that. They are very local to me, so will look them up. I thought Giallo were my closest specialist, but these guys are closer.

I’ve used Mark and Giallo, Only used Giallo to do a PPI and look at a car for sale, and used Mark for some work.

I think it depends what you expect from a PPI, a detailed report with boxes or just someone to look it over and have a chat with you and make a basic list.

Somewhat depends upon whether you want to use as negotiation etc

Giallo charged me about £400 for a PPI last year and in fairness Matthew did travel at quite short notice and get it done and do the report. Good report format too.

Was happy with the work and service Mark provided.

Thanks for that. Useful to know that Giallo were willing to travel to do a PPI. But presumably it wasn't far ?

I've not heard of many Garages that would do that.......they usually point to not being able to use their diagnostic tools.

Thanks. I suspect it was a case of cross-wires and maybe he thought I was referring to another specialist. I'm not sure.

Diagnostic equipment can be taken to site within reason, and I think in some cases either you or the PPI person can slip a small amount of money to a local MOT centre or the like so you can have a proper look underneath. I've done that myself too when looking at a car and not quite sure.
