Garage Recommendations

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good garage for Service and MOT in the Twickenham or Egham Area please?

I have recently moved, I have a Ford Focus, and would like to get a recommendation from anyone who has some experience with the local garages. Particularly if anyone knows a non dealer Ford Specialist

Thanks

  • Contact your local Trading Standards. In our town they have a list of approved garages for sales, repair and MOT.
    All garages here must meet a certain criteria to qualify to be on the scheme.

    Never knew that. So I assume that means you should always complain to Trading Standards about a bad garage so they can be taken off the list.
  • yes. Well they wont be taken off. They get a phone call to sort it out.

    Not sure if all towns have this Approved Trader Scheme, but ours has since 1996...
  • Hey,

    Thats good advice - I will look into it.
