Default A big thanks to PAB.

Some of you may be aware of my distrust of garages due to past bad experiences .

However on the recommendation of PAB i took my rather poorly beastie [knackered crank pulley] to said recommended garage and was well recieved with curtesy and prompt attention , the mechanic confirmed the fault and told me to bring the car back as soon as i get the part.

So a big thanks to you paul .

Well if you are pleased with the results of your repair mention this fact.If they need any further information ask them to contact me on here.

When you drop the car off,look at the graphics on the sign above the unit,it starts with a picture of a 75 and the same detail can be seen on the van..gives you a sense of confidence.

Prob is, that some of the really good local garages are simply too busy to want any recommendations.

When I asked at the garage I use if they would like to be added to this sites list, Darren, the owner, said add if you wish, but we would have to turn them away because we are just too busy with our regular customers... :shrugs:
