Sure Kwikfit took them over. Yell.com not yielding any results. I have used them once in the past, suppose it depends on how badly you need it. If it's just to get the car started, I'd consider AA/RAC cover or such cos it'll cost almost as much anyway. If it's a proper service, use a "proper" garage.

I was considering trying him , am not off sunday for a couple of weeks now, was wondering if anyone had his or anyone elses number. car is n ot mot or taxed, have some work to do on it i.e. front bumper replaced and all disks and pads. car starts fine but once warmed up and choke is off she struggles to tick over, if i take it a run she will stall at every junction .
