Newbury Today Forum _ Random Rants _ Not a rant!
Posted by: JMH Jun 24 2009, 12:21 PM
Hi Everyone,
As the title suggests this is not a rant but is a request for recommendations.
My car needs a service and given that Renault are no longer ther, am wondering where else I could take my car. Ideally I need a pick up and drop off service (either for me or my car!). I work in Newbury.
Can anyone recommend a trustworthy garage I can use?
Thanks
J

Don't think they do pick up and drop off but the place near St Barts is well within walking distance and I have always found them to be ok.

Ive always use Bryan Ford in Thatcham, (next to the Snooker Club) and would highly recommend. Doubt they do a pick up and drop off service though

Sterling Garage near Sainsbury's is good, they do pick up & drop off

Green Meadow in Faraday Road are excellent.

Hmmm, interesting, they're who I normally use (only for rushed m.o.t's so far!) due to location and convenience for where I work so it's nice to hear they're ok!

D & D Motors to give them a name.

That's the kiddie. Not sure if they are any good (as I only know how to look under the bonnet, I don't claim to know what goes on) but they are cheap and normally can fit me in at very short notice.

Knightsbridge Garage, Headley on the A339 - family run, honest, very well thought of and do have courtesy cars. Have been using them for years

The what Anon?

I think he/she meant to put "them" as in he/she would recommend the garage that the other person he/she was quoting mentioned.

Oh I see, thanks Gumbo

Or were you being pedantic again?
Posted by: JeffG Jun 25 2009, 02:09 PM
On the other hand, Bill1 may have been doing us all a service pointing this out, in case he meant 'the' and missed out some vital text, like "the other one around the corner, however". 
By the way, I am having a hard time keeping up with all the posts in this forum. I'm starting to feel guilty when I should really be watching the tennis. Is everyone retired, too young to go to school, or just not got enough to do at work? 
(Or if you're incapacitated or a victim of the recession, then please ignore this.)

Gowrings ford at the motor park are now a Renault service center if you wish to have a stamp in your service book. failing that, i use the garage at turnpike near PC Cox's (i cant remember the name of it!! but have taken my cars there for MOT's for years)

Chris Fidler,Bone Lane (just past Greenham Mills X roads)
Not sure on the taxi service,but a genuine garage that treats you like a human being.
