    Hi folks,

    After moving to Bretton ,I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good, honest garage for car repairs to use around here?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Yes they are great lads. I know that the youngest mechanic has a brother who is a massive Reds fan.
    He's a season ticket holder and also goes to our away games. No problem about recommending them.
    They service and MOT our car. Wouldn't go anywhere else to tell you the truth. Glad you had a positive
    experience.

    No probs Helen. Glad that you found it OK. As I said previously they are very competent and will
    not just do the work for the sake of it. I know of a couple of instances where they have advised
    a customer that spending good money after bad was not a good idea and they would be better off
    trading their vehicle in for a replacement would make more sense.
