Can anyone recommend a good mechanic?

Hi -

I am looking for a good mechanic that can service an 11 year old
Peugeot 405 on some specific issues relating to the drive shaft and
track rod. Clearly I need a licensed mechanic who can provide a
guarantee. However I am looking for a more economical option than the
Peugeot dealership on this one.

Ideally the mechanic should be in London within the M25. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Chris

 

Chris MacNeil () gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

I know a very good Citroen/Peugeot specialist just outside the M25, NW
corner, near High Wycombe. Louis Barbour on 01494 864 112

 

What sort of license would that be?

 

DFS, Markyate, near St. Albans.

Only £25/hour, and he's a top bloke.

 

Probably the sort who can serve a quick shot of whisky with the bill

 

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a licensed mechanic. If there was we
would not suffer from the amateurs who give the trade such a bad name.

Then again if there were, wouldn't they all be charging more than this bloke
wants to pay?
ref. Corgi regd. gas fitters.

Given that main dealers are equally as incompetent as any back street
garage, I somehow doubt it. The trade has a bad name because it is full of
thieves.

 

What's a licensed mechanic?

Are not all trades full of thieves?
Mechanics at a main dealer are all on a bonus scheme which promotes
doing short cuts. I have always found the independent garage better
for most items in both price and honesty. They want to keep you coming
back main dealers have a captive audience.

 

No. They will all, of course, have some, but the garage trade is one of
the worst. And perhaps the majority of the thieves seem to be in
management.
