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.

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
