Just had some work done on my gearbox (refurb, new torque convertor, new mechatronic unit).
They are exceptional there. Their knowledge and passion for gearboxes is clear and they are clearly experts in ZF kit. Mine's been repaired with various uprated parts.
The difference to the car is remarkable. The drive-train shunt I've had for 10 years (that actually still existed when I had gearbox work done in the past) has gone completely, and the little clunks that I'd got used to over the years have been sorted.
Was absolutely fascinating talking to them about gearboxes and their views on all sorts of things - lots of great discussions about box pressures, clutch plate material, Dr Tranny and more!
Workshop was fantastic - nearly-new Bentley, old classic cars, and a few LRs.
Wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. I originally thought I just needed a new torque convertor, but taking their advice on various other work they'd recommend doing I've invested in the car for a few more years.
Very pleased.

They won't just fit a new Torque Convertor (they gave really valid reasons why) and so recondition the box at the same time. I will PM you the price as not sure it's fair to post online. John 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +
