M.G. Autos - St.Leonard's on Sea (East Sussex)

Post by Northern_Mike »

A very helpful, knowledgeable chap. Really good service, bit slow with the tea.

Down in St. Leonards-on-sea, but worth the trip down the A21 to have your car looked by someone who definitely knows what they are doing and can think around standard ways of doing awkward jobs.

I highly endorse M. G. Autos. I was there today, sorting out Gracies' offside wishbone and nearside ball joint. The plan was that I do the majority of the work (using Malcolms tools), and he would help when required. Well, I do not have his range of knowledge, and needed a lot more help than originally foreseen (mainly due to a recalcitrant ball joint). As a result his work plan suffered. Did he complain, did he tell me to sod off? No, he was very understanding, very helpful, and very good at explaining how to do things. I wish that I had turned up on a day that was not so busy for him, and (once again) I apologise, Malcolm, for taking up so much of your time.

M. G. Autos. Run by a real diamond geezer!

EDIT; Tea was provided, and was very potable!
