Strugs 10 Posted June 10, 2014 Anyone used JMR recently and could recommend him for a VR? The list of jobs for mine is getting longer by the day and I'm just getting the time to do it, so tempted just to leave it, and the list, with someone reputable! I'm in Farnham, Surrey, and JMR are about an hour away. The Phirm are much closer but they seem to have mixed reviews and I like the idea of someone who really knows 'rados and their little 'quirks'!

Jamie 1 Posted June 11, 2014 Tbh Strugs I do most stuff myself. Only wanted to speak to JMR about his large rear disc conversion. Any bits I can't do* I have a VW tech mate who does them for me, but very reluctantly. *Cant be arsed to do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted June 11, 2014 Actually I meant to say Farnborough VW Centre are very good mate. The owner is called Andy and the number is 01252 521152. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted June 11, 2014 From what I've heard, JMR have a very good reputation for G60s. No idea about anything else, but I'm sure they will be more than capable on anything else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah JMR do have a very good rep, never heard a bad word tbh, hope it didn't come over that I was saying otherwise. I was just saying I've had zero luck in getting him to call me back and suggested somewhere more local to Farnham for the OP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 4 Posted June 11, 2014 I've met John a couple of times,he is a very passionate man about the Corrado,just look at his own one ! He has done a lot of work on a lot of Corrado's on this forum.i haven't personally used his services,mainly because of the distance. But if I needed to,I wouldn't hesitate ringing him.

Their website (well, front page - that's all they've got!) seems to suggest they're into their air-cooled classics. Have they worked on many 'rados (yours?)?

He must have a rep, otherwise Autocar wouldn't have referred to him as their expert in the recent buying guide they did, but I guess I was hoping I'd get a string of replies singing his praises. I don't mind travelling if the job's going to be done to a cracking standard.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markg60 0 Posted June 12, 2014 I highly recommend JMR, it's not just G60's, they do all water cooled dubs. He is always extremely busy, which is probably why he has not been able to call you back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet. This is what I was hoping for (expecting?).. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted June 13, 2014 I'll chirp in and say that it was John who looked after my VR too (back when I actually owed a Corrado and started this site!) and he knows his stuff. Very passionate about all things Dub, but certainly has time for all Corrado models! (Admin approval, how's that?!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkR 11 Posted June 13, 2014 My VR6 is with John for the next week or so. He is carrying out a lot of work to the underside including the brakes and rear beam. I'm happy to give feedback when the work is completed but so far I have found him very conscientious in his approach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
