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

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
