Title: Calling Hants locals-reputable garages?
Post by waynem325 on Jun 11^th, 2005, 6:26am

I live in Gosport and would like to know if there are any reputable garages nearby that I can take my Scorpio to?
I think the wheel bearings are gone (but not sure as I'm no expert) I would like the rest of the car thoroughly checked over and I would like the autobox oil and filter changed.

When it comes to garages I have a "trust" problem and am always left wondering if the mechanics "make up" problems. I haven't got the knowledge to question their advice or do it myself, nor do I have the facilities at home to conduct more than an oil/filter change etc. ( I can do the basic servicing, but when you start talking ball joints and bushes etc I wouldn't know where to start)

Also-as the Scorpio is an aquired taste and slightly more demanding of a good mechanic (who perhaps has some Scorpio experience), I would like to know if any of you could point me in the right direction of a good, reliable garage hopefully close by :)

Thanks in advance,

Wayne

Wanem. Keep an eye out on the meetings page for the Southern area meet. Waltham Cross is referred to on one of the posts. You should find a contact that way I would have thought.HTH.
