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.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
