I use the same geezer who DaiRees uses. Old school, really thorough and very trustworthy.

I also use Bridgend Citroen & Peugeot Specialist, who I trust. Very honest and have done some cracking work on my cars.

It was Bridgend Citroen Peugeot who first told me about the good garage scheme, immediately after charging me for a diagnostic and a sensor that didn't solve the problem :frown:. That's where the famous "computer says there nothing wrong with it so the only way we'll fix it is to keep changing bits until we find the culprit" quote came from :roll: . I did feel pretty comfortable with the guys there though and despite their failure to fix the problem they seemed more knowledgable and inspired far more confidence than any main dealer I've used, so I will use them again, maybe quite soon if I don't get this current problem sorted myself. Just a shame they aren't a bit closer to home really.
