Best garage? - Page 2

The franchise dealers are generally more expensive than other places.

Thames Fiat is a case in point - they're all a load of rip-off merchants. I will never buy Fiat again.

I would never take my car to a back street garage - at least with AA you know you have a comeback; all a back street garage will do is bankrupt himself to get out of paying a fine and then open up again two weeks later.

This is not the case for 98% of them, but I can't take the chance of finding that 2% who will.

Would it not be better to close inactive threads after a decent period?

Oh, OK Cashy, see your point.
For Volvo cars I can recommend the one in Huncoat, on the sharp left bend by the Chapel - they are brilliant and very reasonable in price

Our cars get most things repaired/serviced at Neil's garage in Ossy, its very handy and a lot cheaper than other places. The work is fully guaranteed and usually completed to a higher standard than most back street garages.

The only other place I have used except for MOT's and wheel alignment/tyres is Diesel Bobs in Ribchester. If its a diesel problem Rob is your man. That was 4 or more years ago for an injection pump rebuild. I have recommended him to others who have also been impressed by his standard of work. The last one had a diesel BMW that BMW was not sure what was wrong with it. Rob sorted him out without a problem.

Oops just remembered I had a gearbox fitted a few years ago because I had no access to a ramp and another 16 years ago down south because I did not think it would make it home to change myself.
