Default Garage suggestions...
Evening All...

Just a quick one... Who is currently top of people's list for work on their car?

I've always taken my car to Gatwick but I think at 13+ years old my car is possibly getting on a bit for 'Main Dealer' prices and it's time to look at saving a little bit of money but hopefully not cutting down on the level of care I afford the car!

Hopefully all I'm after at the moment is an oil and filter change and then a 'helpful' MOT which is due at the end of the month.

Any first hand recommendations would great ASAP

Cheers
Si

Cheers guys... I know Stu and Dan but as you say they aren't exactly local to me and I'm not sure if they could do/sort the MOT (Maybe they'll let me know on here! )
Keep reading good comments about Brent/SMD and he certainly would be a little more convenient as I'm down that way far more than I am over towards Stu and Dan... Maybe time for a phone call or 2.

Why not do the oil & filter change yourself, its not hard and can be done at the side of the road
