SVA in the South West
John Bonnett - 22/2/07 at 07:08 PM

I just wondered if anyone has good or bad experiences with SVA in Exeter or if they would recommend a particular SVA station in the South West.

Any advice here will be gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi John,

Have passed at Avonmouth, the guys see a lot of kits through the doors and were helpful enough. In fact will be booking another sva test with them very shortly!

hi john, i was wondering myself about that, i'm hoping to go to sva in about 4-5 months time and i'm in paignton, if you get any good tips as to who to talk to locally perhaps you could get in contact, cheers roger

No problem with the guys when we took Billys in to Exeter for it's sva. It failed on a few points but nothing too major. They were extremely fair and accomodating to sorting the problems out (mirrors - were supposed to be sva friendly but were not/bias bar split pin needed inserting after brake test/insecure section of wiring/unable to view guages in sunlight iirc)

Large selection of kit car magaines in their office area so they obviously monitor the kit scene. Had a long conversation about the marlin 5exi (as its a local based car I suppose)

As long as they still have the same staff then I would recommend them for the sw, made the sva process go smoothly and virtually hassle free

Cheers

Thank you all for your replies. You seem very positive about Exeter which is nearest to me so that's where it will be.

Thank you once again.
