Car specialists

[Jellyfishfields]

Just had the old M5 Mot'd and serviced by Dave at Central Garage Glenkindie.

The usual great service, and a good drive there and back.

For any owners/collectors in the North East needing winter storage GT Storage Solutions is getting quite busy and I can recommend getting in touch soon to make sure you get a space if needed.

They can now offer enclosed transport too which is hard to find up in Aberdeenshire.

Any recommendations for small dent repair, ideally in Perthshire or Aberdeen? Glasgow or Edinburgh possibly do-able too. I've done a quick search, but I'm aware that the big franchises seem to change hands often and it does come down to the skill of the individual.

Someone has doored the VW Caravelle that I only picked up a week ago. Two small but annoying dents which don't appear to have broken the surface.

Anyone in Aberdeen / -shire recommended to refurb split-rim wheels, powder-coated centre with polished edge?

Martin's Aston Service's gets a good rep from my partners father. Based in Mollinsburn.

His van is often just round the corner from me - I thought he was mobile working from the house.

Just while I am on, I have to give a mention -again - to Craig at Gilmour Engineering in Cambuslang for saving my bacon yet again. A great wee old school engineering shop - specialised in gearbox repairs but is honest enough to trust with anything. Did a great job on my cylinder heads for my Sprint after a couple of cambelt disasters and a washer ingestion.........

Chris who owns / runs Treadsure Tyres.

Mobile fitting and repairs etc, hes nothing short of brilliant.

Nope, alive and probably just very busy. Had my MOT done there last month and picked up my car from a full Hunter alignment today.

I had no problems with the website and booked online, they're one of the few garages I've found that seem to know how to correspond by email, try [e-mail]

I've been trying to get a quote from them for the past week.

There have been a number of emails going back and forward, but still no quote. Quite frustrating.

A wee thumbs up for an auto spark. Robert Summers aka Circuit Auto Electrics, 07818 891467

The old adage of each to their job. He solved in 20 minutes what I have been unable to fathom and wasted heaven knows how many hours doing........ he’s mobile and based Nae Glasgow .

[Ross16v]

Hi, can anyone recommend a good mobile auto electrician in Aberdeenshire please? I’m having a bit of a nightmare trying to trace an earth or wiring issue with my 172 Cup and it’s time to get a professional in to have a look!

[Rod200SX]

Any idea if there's any lexus specialists in the north east? Based in Aberdeen but happy to travel within reason.

Nothing major but I'm fussy with garages and will need a couple bits done on the old land barge soon.

Live in the beautiful Kingdom of Fife and looking to buy a Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the spring so I'm beginning to do my research. Is it really still only the case that Scotland has a dealer and one indie? Edinburgh is handy but willing to travel for the right service.
Any up to date information on what they are both like now? Who should I speak to for buying advice and maybe an inspection of the right car?
Cheers, Hamish.

No experience of the maim dealers but use Martins Aston services. Excellent and very helpful. They are moving to Larbert at the end of May so a bit nearer for you
