X-Pipe fitting - garage recommendation?

Struggling to find a garage that would dare to swap my exhaust over.
Its too difficult and dangerous apparently or they want to charge me £££
for the M tax once again.

I've brought new bolts, clamps, o2 sensor spacers all ready to go.
Struggling to find someone who is either free (time wise) or
I can trust or some place that doesn't try and rob me.

These are the criterias.
  1. within the 50 mile radius (ideally)
  2. not charge a fortune
  3. be competent
  4. knows what they're doing!
  5. not a monkey

MIJ exhausts in Birmingham are just within your drive radius.

Your drive radius is almost wide enough to get to Bird's.

Birds charge far to much. Sorry. I know they are good. And iv had allot of work done by them but thier prices are just extortionate.

Thanks every body

Found someone called AC Speedtech / Russ Fellows in Chesire.
But realised its too far from me. 200 miles for single trip.

Someone offered to do it down in Southampton for me.
I'll see if that goes through. If that fails,

CustomColours you're next on the list!

Soooo it's me again with another garage hunt.
Location: Doncaster

I found a place in Bristol that removed/fitted my OEM back box for £40.
Then I drove down to Chrisc to get my new xpipe fitted, along with some
lube for my bonnet catch and new gloss black side vents at a "undisclosed" sum.

My next exhaust project might take me up to Doncaster,
and need a place to swap 2 exhausts over at the same time.
My OEM for the seller's ********* exhaust.

Any good place around or people from up there?
