Mike,
I have had my TR-6 worked on at A&B and Our Garage. I would recommend
avoiding both. My experience with A&B, many years ago, was that their
repairs were not always done correctly (i.e. it took three tries to
repair my clutch). The guys at Our Garage are nice enough, but when I
went to have my brake master replaced, they did not want to use the
Roadster factory part (they claimed they never heard of or used them
before?) and instead said I would have to purchase the master cylinder
from them. The part cost almost $150 more than purchasing it from
Roadster factory.
I think that in Denver, the most reliable group are the old "Kats" guys
on south Santa Fe Drive. Unfortunately I don't remember their new name.
They use to specialize in Jaguars. I have gotten great service from them
in the past.
