in my village there is a one man band garage with a good rep for general motor repairs, my nearside upper arm replacing so tues i enquired about the job and he said not too busy at the mo so booked me in for thursday

basically i took the zed to him as i had the part but what with the bad/cold weather couldnt be doing with a driveway special this time...dropped the motor off he called @ 2hrs later said its all done for £49 he even drove the car back to my house...saved me grief, cold hands and i keep him from being another victim of the recession...everyones a winner :D

 

anyone else starting to support the local business in these torrid times?

I also use the little garage in the village; although mainly for Julia's Rav. I have taken the Z there for MOTs and a couple of simple replacements.

 

Otherwise I usually take my ZX back to the little garage in the village I used to live; they have looked after it since I've had it. The guys there know their cars, do a really good job, understand the ZX and above all are honest and fairly cheap!!

 

I also use the local privately owned garden centre, farm shop and butchers.......

Thats a good price Chris, he dosent do clutches on zeds?

Hi mate

 

I always us the local Landy specialist for mine and the wifes car. The Zed I did take to a local specialist but I dont trust them anymore so will be going to see Jeff in Tamworth from now on.

i use a local garage but he is a zed specialist so even if he wasnt local i would use him.

i have been using my local butcher instead of supermarkets.

 

The meat is so much better
