Reliable Garage/Mechanic

Recommended Posts

After tying a few different garages, I've settled on Peacock & Sons on Chadwick Road as being straight dealing with good work done, and all round good blokes. Used them for unbending a bumper, a couple of services, some lights, and when I wanted to borrow some jump leads they popped round and started the motor for me.


I asked them to have a windscreen guy round for me at the same time as my MoT. Windscreen guy wanted them to ring me to say there was a risk of breakage which would cost me ?200 more: "Mate, I don't know if this fella is just giving fair warning or if he's angling for the extra ?200, but I shall be standing over him every minute and watching him like a bloody hawk" ? clearly spoken at a distance of about 2 feet from the windscreen guy. There was breakage that day :)

    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
    • I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Carl has never been forgotten in our community.
    • Thank you, it seems to be a few mins from Albrighton Community Fridge so I'll split the load.
