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.

    • I'm interested to know other people's experiences. As in any urban environment, I'm careful. I try not to use my phone outside  unnecessarily, and if I'm coming home by myself  late at night I also keep an eye out for any potential threats. But that doesn't mean  I "don't feel safe". It's just sensible. The only time I have ever felt seriously unsafe in London was decades ago  when I was a teenager, and that was one specific incident which could have happened anywhere. I do however try to avoid places with loads of right wing thugs getting drunk and waving flags.
    • I'm genuinely sorry if I have derailed this thread, which started off as being about a specific burglary in Lacon Road. I will start another thread in the lounge, because I think the general points being discussed are important.
    • 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.
