    But the postcode is there so it does not matter how big the city is

    Shame it's not the garages postcode.

    When my brother was looking for a cheap car, we went to a place by the Barley Mow (almost that postcode), if it's the same 'garage' stay away.

    No problem if they are legit but this guy doesn't look legit. I doubt he is declaring his income and honoring SOGA.

    It's when you have problems that you realise your error.

    Back of the petrol station? Several different names and companies linked to them.
