Any garages back open yet?

[Reg97]

Anybody know of any garages back open yet.

 

Creaking on the rear has started getting worse. I know it’s a multitude of things it could be, just want to get it sorted but honestly don’t fancy one of the dodgy standard mechanics near me.

 

had been looking at cougar store but I’ve not seen anything off them yet about when they’re back open. 
 

creaking is starting to P me off and it’s plenty loud enough that other drivers have heard it and mentioned it. So embarrassing lol

They’re a fair run from me (86 mile each way) so I might have a fish at somewhere else more local since cougar store are still closed at the moment. 

if they’re the only reputable place nearby that’s gonna be open anytime soon, I may have to bite the bullet and take a long drive down to them. Cheers mate

I’m from stoke lol,

 

had a suggestion from Mitz in the dms, if nothing comes from that I’ll take it for a run down there.

still at work at the moment though and the zed is my daily so it’s a little awkward on time for big trips.

Have you try spraying all moving parts with wd 40

Must be a local garage to you open? No real need for a specialist unless you’re convinced it’s something really difficult to diagnose, it’s not a particularly tricky car to figure out suspension-wise.

To be honest, I don’t really know any that I trust. I’m always pretty cynical to be honest about places I don’t know and I’ve never met anyone mention a decent experience

Lockwood and Greenwood in Manchester are open.

I've got to arrange a service and MOT with them tomorrow

Called my local today, cars booked in for next week, full works, sparks, belts and all fluids . (not wanting to rub it in, just this thread prompted me to make the call and check).

Nice one mate,

 

ive got a very brief booking on Thursday, Chris at Tarmac is doing me a

massive favour and is going to have a look for me. Hoping it’s just the usual “grease the axle splines” fix to be honest.

 

Do hope it’s not a dear one lol
