"Our" local independent repair and service garage is owned by a neighbour, and his workshop is a ten minute walk from where we live. He's been "looking after" our personal cars for 18 years and always seems to do a good job at a fair price. Even loans us an old banger if we need it when he has our cars in.
Three men and a dog type business in an old industrial unit, but he has all the kit. Anyway, now that I've bought the Merc it'll be going there for any fettling it needs. The garage owner's own car is an E class, so I'm confident he'll know which spanners to use on mine.
Does tyres too, he doesn't stock them, but if you tell him what you want, he can usually quote competitively and order them in. I like how easy it all is. Sends us a postcard when MOTs are due and so on.
