Hi all

The week before Christmas, Doris decided to snap the alternator belt, fortunately just as I was pulling off the drive.
Can anyone recommend a garage in the Wokingham area?

TIA

If your car is a diesel remember the water pump is driven off that belt, so it may overheat if you drive it any distance.

Any reputable garage will be able to fit a belt in under half an hour.

These guys came up on google....

Thanks guys, I'm struggling to find a garage that can fit me in.

Handy to know it's not a major job.
