“Taking my Triumph TR7-V8 to RACE for an engine tune was the best decision I have made. A subsequent visit for MOT and service confirmed my initial view that this is definitely the place to go for anyone with a cherished classic car of any marque. ”

“After having two garages mess around with my car and not find the issue, I booked the car in with RACE. They had the problem found, fixed and had the car back the next day!”

I have had my Jenson Interceptor for 7 years. It has been in 6 different garages around Surrey and Sussex. The last 2 garages it was in for 2 years! My experience has been awful. Harry and his team sorted my car in a matter of days! It was incredible.
I’m so grateful to them and will only use the in future! If you need your classic car looking after and you live anywhere near the Gatwick area I absolutely highly recommend this company! Thank you so much again Harry!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review James, we hope you enjoy your lovely car.

I booked in my MGB GT with a number of issues just before xmas and it has come back transformed. Turned the vehicle into a baby Aston Martin. Not the cheapest but the best never is. Many thanks to a dedicated team of enthusiastic and friendly specialists.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your great review Simon. We're glad you're pleased with your lovely car.

Taking my Triumph TR7-V8 to RACE for an engine tune was the best decision I have made. Excellent prompt service for a V8 engine tune by very professional and friendly staff who obviously know and love classic cars.
A subsequent recent visit for MOT & service confirmed my initial view that this is definitely the place to go for anyone with a cherished classic car of any marque.
More recently I returned for more work including a replacement exhaust and radiator re-core as well as tracing and rectifying oil leaks.
As before Jamie and Harry went above and beyond expectations to ensure quality work.
Highly recommended.
Made a return visit, late 2024 for MOT & service plus a variety of jobs including replacement of indicator & facia lights with LEDs.
Brilliant service as always. Nice to see the company supporting the heritage apprenticeship scheme.

Ive been waiting to see Jamie at R.A.C.E with my Bristol 406 -6 cylinder 2.2L for about 3 weeks since I was recommended by a friend . I arrived at just before 9am and was away around 11:30
with the carburettors balanced and the car dyno tested .
The car was running hesitantly but with Jamie's touch was purring home and a joy to drive.
Thank you guys ,I want another car now just so that you can sort it out ( not sure my wife would agree though !!?).
