Recommend a garage in Birmingham

Hi,

My local independent garage has let me down and I need to find a local garage which is honest and knowledgeable. If there is anyone in Birmingham who knows an excellent garage or mechanic I would be very interested to hear. Thanks

    Depends on the actual area. Birmingham covers a large area. How far do you want to travel.
    Do you need a curtesy car?

    Make/Model and what work do you need doing to it?

  • I have a Nissan Note and live in the North of Birmingham. I don't require a courtesy car just a competent mechanic who is honest and charges a fair price. Thanks

    Me and my Dad have always used these, Auto Q, with no problems, but don't know if that would be too far for you.

    I live in Walsall and use the "best of walsall" site to find locally recommended local businesses.

    get to exactly where in North Birmingham you are and find a mechanic that way...

    When I lived over that way I used to use a garage called Supercruise right by David Lloyd in Great Barr. He also does MOTs so worth keeping in mind.
