Hi Everyone

I'm near wigan with easy access to anywhere in the north west. I'm hoping someone on here might be able to recommend a garage to fit my exhaust, springs and shocks, probably the alloys as well, all together at the end of the month.

I had a mechanic who did foreigners for me very reasonably at a kwick fit garage until he gave up work a while ago, so can anyone recommend anywhere that isn't going to try and rape my wallet?

Have you thought about doing the work yourself?

I'm up in morecambe but don't really have anywhere I'd recommend, but always been wary of garages myself lol

If exhaust is just back box that's easy done by yourself, same with alloys, I used pem tyres to change my wheels over as I needed the tyres fitting too but they charge £15 a corner, smd at leigh charge less and are careful enough, can't help with shocks tho, never done mine before so it's still on stilts, where in wigan are u?

No chance sparky, I'm never going to be the mechanic on my car, there are a lot more people much more qualified than me to attack it with spanners and tools so I'd rather keep them employed...but like you am wary of garages because I don't like getting mugged.

Hi fry-up, I'm not too far away from Pem tryes, have bought tyres from them years ago. It's mainly the suspension & exhaust am needing to get done.
