QUOTE (Torchy @ Jun 14 2010, 04:58 PM) Long Lane Garage in Hermitage 01635 202005. Good value and not afraid of a bit of welding when needed! Thank you, hopefully no welding will be needed, fingers crossed

QUOTE (Strafin @ Jun 15 2010, 01:23 AM) £80 an hour labour and not very good with actual mechanics I would avoid this place like the plague. There's a garage further into Hermitage opposite The Fox that has a couple of good old school mechanics in situ. The joys of trying to find a good mechanic, are there any good garages in Newbury itself ?

QUOTE (richy rich @ Jun 14 2010, 04:33 PM) I am looking for a local garage to service and MOT a Nissan figaro,an older car so a garage that knows cars more than computers would be good, I am new to Newbury so any help would be appreciated. It is a recommendation I am looking for rather than me picking randomly from a google search.
Thanks in anticipation
Richard For some years we have used the services of David Jones, tel: 07778176336. He has a workshop at Shefford Woodlands but also works mobile, so he could do the servicing and MOT at your premises. He is very competent and his rates are reasonable.

Hmmm, that doesn't tally at all with my experience of the Long Lane garage at all, nor that of other people I know that use them. They offer a good service, and always seem busy (which is a good sign in my opinion). The site was operated by another company a few years ago though...

I don't think so.
