Bosch and Castrol. No mark up on the parts used and he gets trade discount and only charged £50 labour and that included plugging in to his full diagnostic machine, he’s a mate who has looked after all my cars for years. Proper vat registered garage with a fantastic local reputation 👍

Is this a quiz?
Shall we all stick pins in a map and see who's closest to the mystery garage ?

If its that good that you want to post up and shout about it, why not volunteer the name and address of the garage involved so others can benefit ? :scratchhead:
