So after many months of searching for a reliable macky that won't steal my parts and rip me off with prices I found KS MOTORSPORTS.
Phoned Karl to get directions to there place he gave them twice to me lol after I forgot the 1st time he gave them , arriving there I met Chris a very lovely chap who's very passionate about car.
He showed me a beams toy making 160kw ,pictures of his old boss etc so I was thinking like atleast I found someone who owned a opel especially the older generation.
Anyway after discussing what I wanted which was a major service, he told me to come the very next day after a very good price was settled on.
I arrived at almost 11am the next day, and I was thinking I might get the car friday because he still has to get the parts etc. 3pm he calls me to say the car is done when I get there he showed me what oil to top up with, what extra work he did, example my fuel regulators pressure wasn't correct due to worn out hoses, he replaced them for me, my water level light use to be on the whole time, he bridged the wires for me as the sensor was faulty before taking the car to them so no more annoying water level light.
What's nice is that I have Chris on bbm, which helps when you in situations and you need to ask quick advice.
So once again ill use KS Motorsports anytime and a big thank you for excellent service.
P.S Goch and Cooper charged me through the roof for the same thing they did.

Thanks to CALIB(C20XE) awesome write-up  . My gf and I chose to use KS Motorsports to service the car. Chris told us what he had done and basically it was just a general service and replacing the tappet cover gasket which was leaking a bit and cleaned everything nicely. And all this at very reasonable price. Gave a brief report on the car and what we should do in the future but for now all is good. Also mentioned the car is fitted with a Viper branch and exhaust which he reckons is rather nice. I will definitely use KS Motorsport again. We’ve got the number for Chris and Karl. Be careful not to ask too many unnecessary questions when calling Karl (everyone knows what happened so it’s self-explanatory) it seems like he can be on the edge sometimes. But Chris is much more approachable.

He had a stroke. I think it was because he was stressed out. It seems like he works himself up for everything. He is wheelchair bound.

Just want to say thanks for the lekker service again at KS Motorsport. Had a miss on the supie, realised it was a plug, but took it there just for a second opinion. Rocked up there friday morning, Both Karl and Chris was there, very busy workshop. Was nice to see Karl back on his feet. Pulled the car in and explained the prob. Chris did a diagnostic on the car, checked spark and fueling. Spark plugs were on its way out, and fuel pump was not supplying enough fuel. Changed plugs and replaced old pump with a 255lph walboro fuel pump. While i waited, i was offered pizza and cooldrink and had lekker conversation. Car was sorted in 30min. Was only charged for the new walboro fuel pump and fitment.
Thanks for the excellent service!
