Guys

Can you recomend a good independent garage in Edinburgh (pref near Morningside) I just bought a cheap xk8 - and i am sure cheap will mean dear!

I ususally go to Gerry Martin who are excellent, but i feel labour at £65 an hour is a tad severe - especially as parts will prob cost me a fortune too!
Although, i am not ashamed to get parts from breakers or good on-line sites etc....

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

Lochrin Autos on Lochrin Place not far from you. Been taking all my cars there for last 6 years and very, very happy with them! Reliable, well priced, friendly and take time to show you what the issues are.

I second Lochrin Autos - used them for a few years now - usually at MOT time. Not had any problems with their work - would recommend them.

Cheers
Kenny

Thanks for this - i like the look of the air/fuel intake service - think an older car will benefit from this.

No worries, glad to help. My ML is going in for ball joint, brakes and MOT. They've been very good with me over the years.
