Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good garage where I can take my Rover 75 to, near or around Cambridge City center, I live in Histon, 5 miles to the north of Cambridge city center.
Thank you

I have been very impressed with the MGOC workshop at Swavesey. They have done a few jobs on my ZTT and I have been impressed with their knowledge and quality of work. They also have the diagnostics equipment. Not the cheapest around though. The workshop is adjacent to a guided busway stop which will get you back to the city centre in 15 mins (Histon in 7 or 8 mins)

Not a Rover garage, just a local one, but for the odd job I don't fancy doing I use Chatteris Garage, in the centre of Chatteris town. I was taught mechanics by my Grandad, & never put a car into a garage (nor had a good word to say about any) until about 10 years ago. I then had a potential problem changing the front exhaust pipe on a Rover 827 - done it before, had studs seize & break - so put it into Ivan. Great job, good price, and always helpful. In fact only today he has freed off the big nut on the end of the driveshaft, foc, as I couldn't do it.

Hi there,

I woudn't hesitate to recommend Barry Mantell at Swedish Car Connection

He doesn't just work on Swedish cars and has been very reliable and competitive in the past for me with Jaguars and Maestros.

What work do you need to have done?
