Autoclinic

[Steevo]

I thought I would share my experience with autoclinic ( the home of Eldopesta) with other members.
After many late night chats with el i was convinced that taking my evo to him was the best idea although it was 250 miles away that did not put me off!!
I had arranged for a once over of my car and an ayc change.
I arrived at about 11am to be greeted by happy faces and the top man being there ( el was out picking up naz1 evo. Hopefully he will reply to this thread)
after an hour of chatting about what performance parts to use we got cracking. My car went on the ramp in the very clean professional garage surrounded by an r34 or two an r35 a evo6 extreme pulsar BMW m6 and scooby.
The ayc fluids were then changed then the once over began. My car had no boost due to a new engine being fitted and an old ecu being used I thought this would be a quick fix. Fair play to the guys they spent a while getting it to boost. Then el returned. We were treated to lunch being made for us and endless cups if tea ( result )
after lunch we got back to the car. El got involved and we soon had it boosting. But not enough!!! We must have spent a good three hours on it when rauffy the boss man decided enough was enough and went home. El kept working then rauffy came back. He had got home had a brainwave then come back between the pair of them they sourced an air leak and loose knock sensor and got me boosting. I had taken my new wheels with me hoping to have them fitted but I needed tuner lugs. The guys got on the phone and an hour later a guy turned up with some rays superlight anodized red nuts(result not a bad price either ) so we fitted my new wheels. After several evos turning up throughout the day I sold my old super ts to a lad with a iv ( result again)
I met some great guys including h with his awesom sounding pulsar.
What an experience and all the work done at an incredible price. I think I would have been happy to spend that money just to spend a day with these guys. I will certainly be returning

El

 

[Steevo]

That's no probs it's an honest review mate. I did forget the fact it was a bank holiday!!! I must also give a shout out to cossie1 who mapped my car for me at 11pm that guy is a legend too and what a map he did me it goes like stink and now sounds like someone is letting off hand grenades in my boot!!. Why will your shudoshi not be chuffed mate???

 

[ElDopesta]

He's just grumpy at the moment. He was on the tracks last night and no-one would step up, he said he was racing his wipers!!!!!

You must be tripping buddy!!!!
I think you got to Russ well past midnight!!!!

El

 

[Steevo]

[Steevo]

[MR.LANCER]

what a distance you travelled steevo.
was that all on the same day?
i was down bournemouth last weekend on the beach & stayed the night there & off to torquay the next day.

 

[DennisEvo]

Disagree with the 5out of5 ratings, should be 6out of 5 lol. I think someone should make auto clinics num and address a sticky!!!!!!

 

[Steevo]

I travelled up to Bristol the night before mate then went to brum in the morning then map that night in glos at about midnight. Back to Bristol then broke down mr lancer. Bad times

 

[ElDopesta]

Don't get any bright ideas Andy, We might have to do some real work if that happens!!!

The Auto Clinic boys are the only place I go to now. Used to get the mess around from some gargaes and when I was in a tight fix I got el's number from CoordSport of all people, they recommended him and they used to be RalliArt back in the days before they split it all up so I was happy to go there on their recommendation.

Never looked back since then. I'm kind of surprised el never pitches his place to members. He must have a screw loose him

or he's got too much money and cant be arsed

 

[youngy_315]

i knew i had read a post on this a while back!!!

i would also like to join in the praising of el and the guys down autoclinic....
i took my car down there today, after only having it for 2 weeks then going away for 3 n half months i thought i should get a full service, checked over properly by the pros as the guy i got it from was useless with the servicing schedules and "misplaced" the service book, and after reading all the great things decided the journey was worth making.

i was very impressed with everything... from showing me how to do certain tasks myself (AYC change etc) to the food and drinks provided, and advice on what else could be done to the car too. and all at a very cheap price.

i recommend anyone with a problem with their car, need a job doing etc to take a trip down... it will be worth your while.

i will definately return for any other work to be done!!

hope im not creating too much work for ya el

 

[ElDopesta]

Thanks for the review kiddo!!!

I am glad you got back home safely.

Not too worried about the increase in work as I can't wait to get back into it from Monday. If anyone wants anything done, you only need to ask!

El,

I'm gutted that I wasn't able to bring my car to you this week - But had to get my oil changed and engine checked before 500 miles was up, as you know because of my warranty - So went to local Mitsubishi - Next time I need a service, hope to see you.

Cheers

 

[ElDopesta]

Well, if the engine has any problems before the warranty expires, the supplier can't really make any excuses as it was given the once over by a Mitsubishi Dealership so you did well in the end buddy.

[MJ n Bigzy]

autoclinic!

hi all i just want to tell everyone how good these boys are so lets begin!!!!!!i first got chatting to el on here where he give me some very good advice and sold me some good products which i still need to leave feedback for!!sorry el!my car was ready for a 40000 mile service and el gave me a good price so i arranged a date and off i drove 150miles south to birmingham where i was greeted by el and the boys.el then arranged for me and the mrs to be dropped off in town while the main man rauffy got to work on the car.when we got back rauffy was nearly done with the service and just needed to fit the hks boost controller.it took him a while and to be honest i dont know how he did the full service,fitted a walbro fuel pump and hooked up the controller al in days work but then again he is a top man!!he didnt connect up the vacume pipes from the controller to the turbo and said that the geek mapper would do this for me before it was mapped.never the less i was on my way home with a big smile on my face and the boys had sorted me out.brilliant lads!!now about 6 weeks later i went to get my car mapped by ...... well i wont mention any names eventhough i do feel strongly about the matter,the car was mapped and boost controller hooked up.after the car was mapped it felt alot quicker but there was a flat spot and i got told to drive around it so back home i went.as ive got a fair amount of mechanical knowledge i knew something wasnt right so i got onto el where i think he was scratching his head on this one!!!after not sleeping very well all weekend i took the car down to the lads at autoclinic this morning.after an hour or so the main man rauffy got the car sorted and i was back on my way home with another big smile on my face!!i would just like to say thatif anyone has got any problems with their cars el and rauffy at the clinic are the boys to see!!!!and anyone who wants their car mapped be carefull who you get to do the work for you!!
