Hi and good morning, thanks for all of you who got back to me regarding a good mechanic in the South East, unfortunately all the ones that where recommended where to far away? However after a lot of searching I managed to find a really good Alphard mechanic who completed the job in half a day and did a fantastic job without having to disconnect the rear brake pipes, as I was told by many other garages, that had never tackled the job? His name is Phil at Japtech in Southampton, he did my two rear axle bushes and replaced a front drop link for a very reasonable price and the best part is that there was no Vodka And Tonic added to the bill. I had a two hour drive there and back, but we’ll worth it Phil is a lovely friendly and very knowledgeable Alphard mechanic and well worth recommending to you members, his number is 02380 839222. The only thing was, that I forgot to take the two axle rear bushes that I had bought, showing my age now? So if anyone needs a pair I can do you a good price as I don’t think I will be around when they need doing again? Cheers to Phil the mechanic and all you members, I hope that helps one or two of you, Phil

Thanks for that , they are all saying it’s a hell of a job down here? It’s a long way to drive up? Cheers Phil

Thank you very much for that information 👍

Hi everyone, I only joined today and not to sure on how it all works, but I will find my way? First of all does anyone know of a good mechanic in the South East of England that has experience in working on Alphard’s that’s not Toyota? Most garages I have spoken to seem to be very worried about it being an Import, why I just don’t know? I would be very grateful for anyone’s help as I need my rear axle swivel pins and bushes replacing but I just can’t get a quote from anyone for doing the work? The last thing I want is to leave an open cheque book for anyone who takes it on? Thank you for your help, Regards Phil
