Scottish specialist required.

Unread post by Joe Pineapples »

Hi folks,
Can anyone recommend me a good independent service and repair specialist in Central Scotland? Preferably as close to Falkirk as possible.

Cheers.

When I worked in Falkirk there was a guy named Theo Pearson who ran an independent Citroen garage. It was located next to a canal right behind a bar/club called Martell. I couldn't say if he was still going though.

Spooky! That's 2 mins from my house!
I'll have to investigate, cheers.

Ask for a garage - and no one would know ...
Mention any nearby bar/club, and suddenly people remember ...

Anders,
I've lost count of the number of times I've staggered home from the club in question!

I had a good few nights out in Falkirk but never did frequent the Martell :)

Anyway, if you were going to the Martell from the town center then turn left immediately after Martell and go up that street no more than 50 meters on your left was/is Theo Pearson Motors where you'd see lots of XM/Xantias/BX and CX remains in a yard. At the time (1998) he drove around in a red BX 16v.

He was a good guy - occasionally grumpy IIRC 8)
