Garage/Mechanic For Automatic Cars

lancsdave · 25-03-2007, 11:19

Anyone know a garage/mechanic who specialises in automatic cars. Lots of garages won't touch them hence the question ?

Okay let me open this up. Anyone know a good garage where I can at least ask if they do automatics and I won't get ripped off ?

I always use Empress Motors on Ellerbeck Road (01254-236609), I don't know if he does automatics (cant see why not), but I have always found Derek to be really nice, reasonable and his garage is really clean and tidy (must be a girl thing!).

Looks like the thread was in vain

I opted for the one that Entwisi posted purely because it is 2 minutes walk from where I live. Went down this morning and booked it in for a transmission fluid change on Wednesday morning.

On the M65 near Nelson this afternoon, the car decided it didn't want to wait until Wednesday and hitched a ride on a RAC Recovery truck with what looks like a dead gearbox and ultimateley if thats the case, the end of the cars life

Thanks for the suggestions anyway, and a big thanks to mthead and accymel for baling me out by getting my daughter back from school in Brierfield.

I may now start a new thread on the availablity of tandem bikes
