Default Recommendations for garages in Newcastle

Hello,

My first post on here after lurking for over a year.
I've had my s2000 for over a year now and not been able to find a consistently good garage, people not hearing the noise from a TCT, misdiagnosing knocks and noises. Most problems have been solved by looking on here. I live in the Newcastle area and was hoping for some suggestions on which garages people have been taking their cars too. Any advice is much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

I have been using D&G Motor Engineers in North Shields for the past 4 years. Very helpful lads and also very knowledgeable as well as reasonable. They have also done a few things FOC for me.

Exhaust systems in gateshead are good lads, the garage looks a bit tired but trustworthy and good priced.

R and P woods have looked after both my CRX and the S. Not the cheapest I don't think, but always honest and reliable, Paul even did my exhaust mod last year with the photos from here. Id be interested to know who people recomed for body work in and around Newcastle as mine is far from perfect.

I have a new bodyshop/paint guy in Wallsend who I will be using in future for a front end re spray. His name is Peter and he just repaired a little fender bender on my dads Landrover and did a top job! http://www.yell.com/biz/p-and-m-auto...lsend-1033746/
