|
|
Right well this keeps popping up in various categories so I was wondering if you all fancied chipping in here.
I was thinking that it might be helpful to have a list of good places to get 4ws aligned, bodywork done or just general oily bits.
To make it easier and more relevant I think its a good idea to split themup by U.K regions. Then I figred it best to list first by location, addess and what they are good for.
To get the ball rolling here's a garage that i've used before for doing mots and servicing.
North West England:
 Preston - Eldon Street Garage. Eldon Street PR2. (Mot and servicing)
 Wirral - AJ Motors, 49a Frodsham St, Birkenhead, CH41 9DS 0151 647 7862 Highly recommended for general mechanical work and electrical diagnostics.
 Morecambe - RSM Motorsport Whitelund Ind Estate rally specialist and can do just about anything you want 25 pound an hour as well
 Morcambe - Stivvies Whitelund ind estate mot exelant service and actualy took care of the car and helped me out loads good work guys

Cheers

No probs. Could we also maybe link to this from the general section so that more people see it and contribute? (with a view to making it a sticky in the tech section) |

Name of Garage: Ansam Motors

Recommendations: They have proper 4 wheel alignment equipment (not laser, full 4 wheel alignment) - Showed me their MR2 Turbo that appeared in Banzi magazine recently - nice blokes and Japanese Car enthusiasts!
This is a great thread and I'd really like to see people adding to it (especially if people can recommend bodyshops in the London area  ) |
