Having moved to 'God's own country' from Worcestershire, I have lost my regular service and MOT mechanic. I could travel the 120+ miles to continue with the relationship, but I would prefer to find somewhere local - if possible. I'm not talking main Morgan dealers here; the cost is high and I'm not sure how much they step outside the formal tick list. Does anyone have a recommendation for 'a reasonably priced' garage that understands the lore of Morgan?  I may be asking too much here, but Yorkshire is a big place, so there must be somewhere you would trust. I await your thoughts and experience!

I passed on my MoT recommendation to Glenn. Service wise there is/was a Morgan man somewhere in Chesterfield. Lord Unstone knows where it is..........

Hello John, Thank you for the recommendation!  Can you tell me a bit more, e.g. how familiar they are with Morgan oddities, and how long you have been using them? Cheers.

Langley Classics is here near Ashbourne in Derbyshire - not to far. And a nice drive out. They will do everything from rebuild to servicing. They have several Morgans of their own which they are restoring.

Hello Phil,
Thank you for the recommendation.
I have seen them advertised; what are their charges like compared to main Morgan dealers (in other words, are they 'reasonable')?
Cheers.

If it's the same chap I know, very sadly for the Mog community, 'Phil' retired a couple of years ago

Ok, thank you Jon for the update.
Feel's like Morgan servicing is something of desert in this part of the country...

I guess an MSCC member could give you a steer if you belong.
Lifes any good for you, their head tech has set himself up details on here somewhere.
