Default Need a gearbox service in Ireland or the SW

Hello guys, I work in Ireland and my family lives in North Devon. I want to get the gearbox on my 1996 3.7. Can anyone reccomend someone to do it in the top half of Ireland or in the SW of the UK?

2nd Rich's suggestion. Bristol Trans and Chester Autos seem to get the most recommends on here.

I know John very well and I'm sure he could sort that for you no problem at all. He is not too far from Mullingar so it sounds like it would be easy enough for you to get to.
