The bottom line is, generally, customers are none too bright.

30 years in business with a total advertising budget of £0. Total word of
mouth.

I've *fixed* dishonest mistakes ... like the cylinder head gasket put on
upside down which blocked the oil channel and wore the cam carrier to
paper.


There are good garages around, I've found a couple- which I use for jobs
I no longer want to/feel able to tackle.

I'm wary of main dealers- I prefer to use a small garage. The two
garages I prefer to use I've got the know the people over the years- one
was a neighbour. I've never had a bad experience or heard of anyone
having one at either place.
