Hello,

After many years of servicing/fixing my cheap terrible cars myself, I've found myself in Norfolk with a nice 350Z and the urge to pay a man to work on it for me. Service it, fix the airbag light, that sort of thing.

I'd happily take it to a Nissan dealer, if there was one who was competent and trustworthy. It was a bad experience at a Nissan dealer which prompted me to service my cars myself for a decade, so I will need quite a bit of convincing.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

After a furious 6 hour battle with seized fasteners and the most stupid brake pipe design I've ever seen while changing the front discs and pads I'm even more keen to pay a man to do this st for me.

Two separate flexi pipes going to the caliper, neither of which lets you move the caliper because there is a hard pipe wrapped around the aluminium upright and bolted to it with two M8 bolts (rather than one and an anti-rotation feature, which would have taken half as long to drill out and retap). I've worked out why the car weighs so much.

Can't wait to do the rears: discs and drums.

Anyway - garage recommendations?
