Jaap,
Can't really recommend anybody in Edinburgh as I haven't lived there since 1981 - oh my gawd I am getting old :oops: However if you hunt around in Lieth you might find a "hole in the wall" kind of place that has real engineers in it rather than young kids, not that it's their fault. There used to be a great garage in Biggar, but I don't know if it's still there
Word of mouth is always good.
I actually use a local garage near me, it's a dirty faded kind of place, full of interesting stuff and the guys know what they are doing. I do trust them, let me say they know how to deal with cars over 5 years old unlike most dealers and "quick fit" type of places.
Good for the jobs you can't do, MOT's etc....
They are:
Tough and Johnston
Bogwell Lane (What an name
)
Stonehaven
tel 01569 762091
Kenny Johnston is the guy in charge (I think his son is getting trained
)
That way you can sample the delights of Stonehaven, more bars per resident than any other town on the north east coast. See Dunnotar Castle (Mel Gibson/Franco Zeforrelli spelling?? filmed Hamlet there)and it's only 1 and 3/4hours by car or 2 hours on the train from old reekie
Cheers
Malc
PS you could even have a look at all my "scrap" and if desperate for somewhere to stay for the night too.......
