Hi Guys
Ok im trying to do up my car but im running into problems. Im looking to find a garage that has a good reputation and will not rip me off coz im female. Took the car to Haydon and he said he wouldnt touch it coz its not worth it, thats not his decision to make!
Anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers.

south coast are really good but also a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for! Ive also been to formula fast fit (the one opposite dms) and they are pretty decent, made a little mistake on something that i was getting fixed but they are quite decent and friendly and a bit cheaper than southcoast too.
Maybe it's because i'm a Douglaser
That i love Douglas so
Maybe it's because i'm a Douglaser
That i think of her wherever i go
I get a funny feelin inside of me
Just walkin up and down
Maybe it's because i'm a Douglaser
That I love Douglas town!

I use Paul Russell, he's a one man operation in Union Mills, but he seems honest, genuine, and does an hours work for an hours money. He's in that little area just before and behind the petrol station on the left as you leave Douglas to Union Mills. Really nice guy.
