If, like me, you're inept with a spanner and the mechanics of a car are about as familiar as quantum physics, it's essential to find yourself a good independent garage.

I've been using mine for several years now and I'm always impressed with the service, quality of work and prices. I called in there Tuesday as I needed a few minor jobs doing which consisted of sorting out my jammed rear seat (seatbelt trapped in the catch), nearside sidelight bulb replacement and refix the plastic trim under the font wheelarch that had come loose. All sorted in about 20 minutes or so, and the cost..........£0.00!!! They just said "that's ok Bob, we like to look after our loyal customers" They also rarely charge me for tyre fitting when I buy them from the Internet.

Now thats what I call service!!  [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

nice one...i got a mate round the corner from me whos a mobile mechanic and he sorts out the jobs i dont feel i can attempt and hes quite cheap he managed to heat up the adjusters so that i could get my tracking done last week cause kwik fit would not touch em an he did not want a penny from me...maybe thats because i got him a discount on his new 32" lcd tv and laptop for his daughter just after xmas....

So how about a 'good garage list', as recommended by members? This can be accompanied by a 'good TC dealer parts department' list which, while admittedly not a very long list, will be helpful as well....

...and can you post the details of said garage? Herts is not a million miles away from me, and I don't mind travelling a bit to make sure that the job is properly done (though I have a Vx dealer around 200 yards from my home...)

This was suggested in the Suggestions Box section some time ago here....http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1165314036
I think Jaime was undecided about the idea at the time.

Thanks, I 'll let you know.... there are some jobs that I would like to do (wishbones, rear brakes...), but with the kind of weather we have these days this is not going to happen. So I might ask your guys to to this for me...
