Wanted!: Genuine, reliable garage in ED

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm new to London and after having moved from up north, I'm really wanting a new garage to service and MOT our car. I really trusted my last garage, they always went the extra mile and always tried to do the cheapest option on repairs.

Does anyone use one that they'd recommend?? If theres one thing I can't stand its being ripped off with something I know nothing about!!!


Any advice would be greatly received!

I wouldn t recomemnd Turners..

Just moved into the area and I have been suggesd turners for a simple service but they could not set up my car computer yet and is 4 times I go back to them with no success..and...next monday again!Not sure they even try anymore..

I wouldn't recommend Peacocks. I've used them twice and really haven't been happy with their mechanical work and have found them to be slow and aggressive when dealing with queries. On the second occasion I had to get another mechanic to recitify the work they did. However, their coachwork (welding) was absolutely first class.


To be fair this was a few years ago and I may have been unlucky. I now use South London Clutch on Bellenden Road and they are fantastic. By far the friendliest and most reliable garage I've ever used. I have total faith in them.

i must say that is a bit unfair on peacocks, as you say it was a few years ago ,,i know that there has been some staff changes in the last couple of years i have used then for the last 12 years and have found them to be very good ,and so have lots of my family and friends and not one has had reason to complain.i have my audi booked in for thursday to have a jerking issue sorted and i have every faith in them that they will get to the bottom of it .

ps ,what was the car they was supposed to of done such a bad job on ? ,why not just do what anyone else would of done and took it back for it to be done to your satifaction ?

I have used Peacocks for over 7 years and have always found the work to be of a very high quality at an extremely reasonable price. The staff are friendly and professional. They are very reliable and get the work done efficiently and quickly. I have recommended them frequently to family, friends and neighbours and their experience mirrors mine.


I always use them for servicing and any other jobs that need doing. I have just had some body work done to an incredibly high standard - the car looks better than it did before the prang! Absolutely no complaints about these guys whatsoever.

Just used Peacocks in Chadwick rd for the first time and I am very pleasantly surprised. I was used to garages wanting to squeeze as much money as possible and to drum up extras after you bring the car in. Well, this one is like the garages we had in the good old days. Honest, reliable and trustworthy. I had a couple of of quotes for the work before I came to them and I was quoted double of their price. After googling them and reading the feedback it was a no brainer who to go to. The work was completed on time and the damage I had on my car has disappeared. All good & highly recommended.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.

    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
