St. Helens independent garage recommendation
« on: 28 January 2013, 12:40:58 »
After following the OOF guide to fitting cruise control on my facelift omega I took it to Voxcar on Boundary Road, St. Helens. He had it  programmed within the hour for only £40.
I have only just found this garage which is run by Vauxhall trained master mechanics. They have also replaced my rocker cover gasket and fixed my rattling exhaust for a very reasonable charge.
I have never done recommendations before but these guys really know what they're talking about when it comes to Omegas and unlike main dealers, actually spare the time to talk to you as they also gave me some advice as to the best way to remove the seat anchorage bolts.

I did the breathers myself before I took it in because I initially thought this could have been the cause.
Omegod: sorry but what does PM mean. Is this some sort of 'facebook' talk!!

I'v got a set of leather seats to put in as my next job but having trouble removing the bolts from the front seat. They are absolute buggers to get out without wrecking them

One of those was mine. The green 2.0 auto with the new exhaust (how annoying is that).
 The scrappy in Haydock is one of my favourite places to spend an afternoon, but not at this time of year.
