Calling all Campervan Owners?


Recommended Posts

Hello,


Just wondering if any ED Campervan owners would recommend a local garage/mechanic who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and willing to MOT/Service/repair a 30+ year old VW Campervan?


Our regular mechanic in Catford who loved working with campervans has sadly had to retire due to ill health, so it would great to find somewhere local who are happy to take one on.


Many Thanks.

I know VERY good mechanic

For starters when my ex wife's car clutch given up I was quoted repeatedly around ?500-?700

Then I found Pete guy in his 60s

Who said it will cost as much as it will

So I've left ?400 upfront

Materials and labour cost so he can see his money first

Pete changed the clutch in my ex's nissan in less than a day in lidl'car park

Clutch never failed so trust gained

Then he also gave me ?100 back so ?300 all together!


recently I crashed my audi TTrs

And broke wheel completely

Rear left wheel was pointing 45 degrees to the left

Cheapest quote to change suspension was ?2500

3 weeks to fix

Called Pete again

Now between 65yo maybe more

Asked if he can help

He laughed at 2.5k cost of repair

I gave Pete ?350 for parts

He came

Lifted the back of my car on 2 jack

Stuck some metal towers underneath

Took wheels off

Ginded off stuff that was to be changed

Disappeared for 2 days

Came back and fitted all the parts

Dropped the car down and walked off

Then Called to say it's done

All that took place on Sydenham High Street with people looking and talking to him

And he charged me ?600 all together

In 3 days he's undone the whole bum of my audi and put it back together

I believe there is nothing he can't do

Seriously

Magical in my view

He told me what he's done but don't understand much of his mechanical language

I'm happy so thumbs up

Highly recommended

Infact

I can't recommend him high enough

Great person

Great personality

Polite

On time

Professional

Send he doesn't do text messages (looool)


Happy to share pictures over WhatsApp

Car looks like nothing has happened

Drives lovely like there was never any serious damage

No issues

Respect!

RESPECT

?2500 cheapest quote AND 3 weeks to do

Pete charged ?600

Done it in 3 days !!!

(Insurance wanted to write off the car

I was driving my baby yesterday)

PAST MOT AS WELL

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
