Honest John is looking for recommendations for garages that maintain classic cars, here.

If you've used one in the past -- such as that funny one in Droxford... -- why not give them a good write-up...?

Apologies if this is breaking protocol, purple haze....

I hear limtededitionsunlimited are good!

could try this one...

I wouldn't recommend that one, some strange bloke runs it. He's a bit away with the fairies if you ask me

I used to take my Isuzu to be serviced at one that looked just like that, in the middle of nowhere, in Wiltshire (and this was only eight years ago...). They even filled your car up for you, when you went in for fuel...!

There's a new place opened just round the corner from me and I've no idea if they're any good (very rarely go near a garage) but it looks fabulous! Frankly anyone who goes to those lengths to make their garage look classic friendly can't be all bad. Also in their favour it's 100 yards down the road from the Fiat dealership and they use a 500 for a courtesy car Claim to match internet prices for tyres too so may well give them some business on that at some point.

Wow! :worship:

Claim to be bang up to date but with a retro 50's look. Should get the 500/Beetle/Mini owners flocking in

We have heard it said that there is some bloke called Vern who does **** hot work.
How do we know, nearly every Panda owner on the Forum has or will have their car parked in his yard before long.

Scary thing is that's not as far fetched as it sounds. My unit has three parking spaces allocated to it and I'm about ten over that at the moment . My rent is due for revue in a couple of months and I can see them using this as a lever to move it upwards, although so far they haven't commented.

Fingers crossed they're really secret Panda fans then!!

You're welcome to hide some away, I can take them off your hands. You may not ever see them again though....

I've got two I'd risk losing!

Hang on...13 - 2 = 11

Isn't that still 8 over your allocation? Lol
