Recommendation :
RoRo Shipping :

Robin Beecham was excellent and went beyond the call of duty to help me out when the transport company to Zeebrugge never gave us advanced notice nor had the documentation in place. And then again when I needed to pay for the shipping but the filter on my internet router chose to give up the ghost..

On 21 August I ordered a replacement drive-shaft on line from someone offering an unbeatable price. + very reasonable p & p.

I also needed an oilseal but hadn’t found it - ’til after I’d placed the order. Apparently they have a flat rate p & p charge which meant the seal would’ve cost the same again so I phoned them, spoke to someone who I took...

Are all car components coated with rain soluble paint?

When I fiited a new TCA, I painted the cap of the ball joint black to match, 'cos that was bare metal. Nearly 6 months later, most of which the van's been parked there hardly a trace of paint anywhere.

Back to the original story: PSA owning Mr Auto is, I suppose, quite encouraging BUT what...

Ay up!

As some of you are aware, I've just had an engine rebuild done at APT motors in Leeds. Excellent service, I've been going there for 20 odd years now so should say it all really.

0113 231 1160 and Alf's yer man!

Last post

Based on your recommendation, Xantianut, I contacted Alf to help me get my C5 through its MOT. Top, top bloke! Anyone in the Leeds area needing a Peugeot/Citroen guy, go talk to Alf! :)

Have had both the 107 and Saab in here now for both repairs and MOTs and am happy to thoroughly recommend them. Especially after the welding on the Saab, which was quite a complicated little bit of reconstructive surgery that they only charged me £95 for...I was expecting at least a 3 in front of that. Work looks good too. CV joint on the 107 was...

Any Recommended Garage In Or Near Haywards Heath?

by Mirage » 27 Jul 2015, 08:18

First post

The Peugeot 2008 is due it's first service. Normally I would have taken it to Chevronics in Hitchin, Hertfordshire but we have now moved to Haywards Heath in West Sussex so need to find an equally reliable garage.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Saul

Last post

Nothing close enough but thanks anyway. Might have to just chance it on one of the local garages and see how it goes.
