Never use Padwicks Oglander road


Sarieg

Recommended Posts

Hi there,has anyone a good recommendation for a car mechanics for a Morris Minor? I took it to Padwicks on Oglander road and had it welded, they burnt my interior pretty badly and refused to repair saying that it was already burnt ( they started welding without removing the interior). I have pictures Before and after and I'm pursuing legal action. Does anyone have any very blue interior panels or know of any reliable and honest mechanic who can help me fix my lovely moggy? Looking for a reasonable cost as I have Arendt paid for work which has resulted in damage. Thanks! It's a 1969 Morris Minor 4 door.

Hi Sarieg,

I have used Andrew Brock to look after my car for the last 5 years or so, and I can't recommend him enough. He is absolutely fantastic with the mechanics, as well as being realistic with the timescale of the work & the price and he's a true gent. He has never suggested that I buy things that the car doesn't need, and will recommend another specialist garage if that is what is required. After being fleeced by other garages, he has utterly restored my faith in car repair mechanics.

    • Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.  
    • Another excellent article from Jim Waterson's London Centric reporting https://www.londoncentric.media/p/kitchen-foil-and-algerian-markets?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Interesting that there seem to be favoured and repeated routes for phone snatching for particular thieves.  Seems ED might be one of them ☹️
    • Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast   
    • Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
