Reliable Mechanics

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a reliable mechanic who could service my car at a reasonable price. I have used Kwik Fit in Lewisham for the past 2 years, and often feel like I am being ripped off with the "added work" i am told i need for the car to pass an MOT.


My friend has suggested finding a reliable and honest mechanic in the East Dulwich/Forest Hill area to try for my next visit instead of going to Kwik Fit. So whether it?s a knowledgeable ?home mechanic? or a garage, I welcome the idea.


I very much look forward to hearing from some trustworthy mechanics or receiving some recommendations of people I could approach.

I used these guys for years. Well Reg anyway.Paul came and went. I even bought two cars from them. I decided not to go back when they charged me a huge amount to fix a wing mirror. I miss the rapport I had with Reg but they didn't bother to reply to a letter I wrote to them after the 'misunderstanding'.

My family have been using Andrews for years.....I believe my uncle still takes his van there regularly and thats got close to 280,000 miles on it so must be doing something write :))


I use a mobile mechanic called Dave Lervine for my old Polo - very reliable and trustworthy - 07956410883.

I tried Jack the Polish mobile mechanic yesterday, and I would definitely recommend him. I had a problem starting my car, and he was able to come out the same afternoon. He found the source of the problem and fixed it right there. He used to work at the garage on Rosendale Rd, and has gone out on his own. He was a fraction of the price I would have had to pay to call out green flag who wanted to charge a GBP94.50 call out fee just to come and jump start it and take it to a garage!

His details are: JF Auto. Pre MOT Checks, Breakdown Assistance, Car diagnostic, Air conditioning.

    • A recommendation for Niko the plumber here. I first met him whilst he was doing work for my landlord - he came quickly to fix a leaking in the roof. He was very kind & efficient: fitting the job in amongst other things and explaining what had happened / what needed to be done. He always kind enough to offer advice and recommendations for other trades people on other home issues when asked too eg boilers.  Super reliable.

    • We went to Kokum yesterday for lunch and it was fantastic. On a really hot and sunny day, the outside tables were in the shade, with a breeze which helped! It was £15 each for BBQ and beer. Great BBQ smell & a free taster dish.  The main menu options we chose came to less than £30. the service was lovely.    we happened to be walking by, so thought worth mentioning here.    (no connections to the business!)
