Friend of mine has just had a problem with his car after filling up at stadium garage, boldon..misfiring etc.After Toyota tested his fuel it was full of water!! Has anyone had anything similar from here? He is facing a £270 bill through no other reason than putting fuel in!!

I'm all for supporting small local business but that garage looks ropey at best and has "avoid" written all over it if you care about your car in the slightest. Unfortunately I can't say I'm surprised by this.

My elderly parents have used the place for years , both for fuel and service for both cars , you couldn't be more wrong , they have even been to their house to change a wheel after a puncture and just charged for the puncture repair with no call out charge.

The guy who owns it has had it over 40 years , he must be doing something right.

Admittedly it's no shining palace main dealer outfit and to some first impressions count.

Never judge a book and all that .....

I don't doubt what you've saying is true. The garage I use for servicing my cars is a little back street place, but I find little independent places like this do a better job of servicing and don't aim to have me work which they haven't. I'll always take my car to John and would recommend all my friends do. Fuel though, different issue all together and in that instance I'm very choosy. This garage LOOKS to be ropey (which is only my opinion) and I can't personally imagine the fuel they distribute to be of the best quality.
