Good Independant Garage Poole/Wimborne

[RosscoPCole]

I need my pulleys sorted on my fan belt and am not willing to pay franchise garage prices. Can anyone recommend a good Independant garage in the Poole or Wimborne area.
Thanks

Just my old Toyota Yaris

Is it not something you could do yourself? Its a yaris after all and having seen my mums car it looks quite a simple set up.

Not slating your car btw, just thinking it might be good to do it yourself as its a straight forward engine.

I highly recommend these guys, I can't praise them enough! An old guy who has had the garage for years and one of the most honest, reliable garage ever. I have sent many people there and they wont use other places now.

Had a look at the Haynes manual. Looks complicated, includes removing the engine mounts. Bit out of my league.

Well I'm very suprised to hear that to be honest! Oh well OP, I can only say that I or my friends have never had any problems there and certainly never stitched up, if anything the owner talked me out of having a service as I still had 1000 miles to go til the next scheduled one!
