Do a search for Mark from Banchory, who has moved to Inverurie. That'll give you somewhere to start - he gets a very good rep on here for his work.

Contacted Mark - £120 fixed price and will take 4-5 hours to do... seems pretty reasonable £30-£40 per hour....can't get an oil change for that price !!

Top marks for Mark from me also - you'll learn a lot about your car while your there also.

Inverurie-ish.

If anyone is 'thinking' about a geo - just get it done! It's worth every penny to have to done RIGHT (as opposed to some monkey with a laser-line doing it)

I'd definitely recommend Mark Hutcheson too. Did an excellent job of setting up my car.
Its great to have someone with his skills in the aberdeen area.

I was around at Marks yesterday for a coffee. He did a full geo setup again for me a couple of weeks ago.

His new mechanic Alex starts next week, and he will be putting up his ramp, so will shortly be ready for full Elise servicing. He also has shotblasting and powder coating facilities.

N3 is going in early November for a make over, wishbones blasted and powder coated, new wishbone bushes, new balljoints all round, uprated Nitron springs, and anything else that he comes across.

Another vote for Mark.


I need to get the caterham up to him at some point over the winter for a geo session too.

I went up to Marks today. Seems a top bloke. I booked my car in to have the suspension checked over and set up if everythings ok. Think I'll try him for servicing once he's got his ramp set up.
