Garage In South Ayrshire - Near Kilmarnock / Ayr

[gmhracing]

Hello. I have recently moved to South Ayrshire. Can anyone suggest a garage to entrust servicing / MOT etc of my 8V Integrale please.

Many Thanks
Graeme

This isn't exactly local, but when I lived in Edinburgh briefly a few years ago I used Car Craft in Broxburn to service my Prisma. I got to know the owner via various car shows and he also owned an integrale Evo 1 at the time. A lot of the other LMC members in the area used him as well: https://carcraftbroxburn.co.uk/

Also, if you use Facebook, there is a 'Lancia Scotland' group that might be able to offer advice on somewhere nearer to you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/662867244199242

Hi Graeme,

I've not worked on an integrale,  but I live in Monkton and service my own Lancia Thema which has fundamentally the same engine.

If I ever have jobs to do that are beyond my capabilities, mainly welding  (I  do my own timing belt changes etc), I use Seaplane Motors in Drongan.

Davy McColl is an old school mechanic and all round good bloke.

Be good to meet up with you as we have quite a cluster of Lancia in the area. Fulvia in Troon, Monte in Prestwick, your integrale and my Thema SW and Flavia in Monkton.

That's 4 Lancisti so we're quorate.

Hello Andy and Angle Grinder. Thank you for your info. I have found Sandy Wallace in Kilmaurs who I am going to call tomorrow and if he doesn't impress I will talk to Seaplane Motors and if all else fails I will try Car craft when I have found out where Broxburn is! Thank you again.
I am afraid I do not do social media but it does seem a good idea to try and meet up. Quarate is a good word. I would have possibly used quarum but that would have been a shot in the dark.
I also have Triumph Spitfire MK3 (owned for coming upto 40 years now.......) and a Jaguar XKR to keep me occupied.

All the best
Graeme

Hello Neil Jeffrey of Carcraft retired about 18 months ago. He sold the business and I am pretty sure that they have no interest in Deltas.  Neil is doing some work at home (Dollar) and I could message you his contact details if that is of interest.
Another possibility is Hypertec in Bonnybridge - acouple of the integrale owners are grooming them to become experienced with Deltas. Duncan at Hypertec has done a belt change on an Evo 2 amongst other stuff.  They are Subaru specialists.

Hello Graeme,
Another Lancia-friendly garage is Seditas Auto Services at Hurlford.  Not sure about Deltas but knows Betas well.
