  1. Firstly let me start with a few days back Driving through Germany my car didn't feel fine Took it to a garage and they said my hub nut had come loose because someone has cut the hub shorter and now the nut can't lock. I asked the garage to tighten it up and put 2 little tacks of weld to hold it in place but they said no they cannot as that is dangerous so they tightened up with studlock and made me sign a document to say I understand that my car CANNOT be driven as I could potentially die !!! Fast forward a few days when I got to Poland and I take it to a garage. They put it on the ramp and say "I don't see what the problem is, pass me that welder now" And it's all done I say how much do I owe you and he said that that bit is for free as long as I pay him to fix my y-piece on my car as it has been bandaged up in the past. I said to go ahead and repair it Anyway out comes the grinder and out comes the welder and 15 minutes later I have 2 brand new sections in the exhaust. They do not blow at all and he got it right first time unlike every English person I know !! Oh and it looks really good When I come to pay him he said it would be 50PLN which is about £10 !!!!! Absolutley over the moon car is now safe and that hub nut will not come loose and my exhaust is like a brand new one !! So all this "bloody polish coming here stealing our jobs" I wish he was in England with the professional job he did as it means I won't have to travel so far next time !!!

  4. I also suffered from the missing spring (used a credit card to pop the lid and put my phone under the lever inside). New part came from official dealer and I paid 6 euros for it.

  5. We have used out village garage for the best part of 25 years and Ron who took over from his Dad who started the garage over 80 years ago (sadly has now passed away) is always very helpful, will not throw components away if for instance they only need new brushes etc, he will pull it to bits and repair, good as new. Car is always ready when he says it will be, never any dirty greasy marks on the car or unexplainable damage. You are always greeted with a friendly hello, never does he ever try and do more work than is necessary. Having LPG fitted is never a problem to any of my cars. After all that he will send you an account with 30 days to pay. So where is this garage????? If I told you I would have to kill you. We do have some great craftsmen (English) in this country sadly they are outweighed by all those that go to work on a horse. Mike
