Hello
Can anyone who lives in Hackney recommend a garage / mechanic who they've used more than once, ie: have been pleased with the work, outcome etc... and gone back again and possibly again?
I actually need to get a diagnostics run on my Toyota Corolla because a 'Malfunction Indicator lamp' comes on whenever i go over about 50mph.
The Toyota garage on Seven Sisters have quoted £111.63, which seems extortionate.
I was burnt badly by that garage called AA1 Autos on Mare Street back in Spring 2005, in that they fitted me a new alternator into my Ford KA, then within six weeks whilst i was driving to Devon, one of the screws came loose and created a rip in my Cam Belt (i'm only spouting what i was told, i'm not an expert)
Both the RAC (who towed me to Devon) and the mechanic (who my dad knows) told me that old screws had been fitted and they shouldn't come loose within six weeks.
They had basically done a really shoddy job.
They wouldn't accept any responsibility but did in the end pay (i think) £20 towards the cost of the labour to screw my alternator back in properly and fit a new cam belt.
Obviously my RAC membership went up because of this.
Anyone else had problems with these guys?
