Hello All,

Any recommendations for an independent garage near Harrow - Have a P38 dHSE and its service time - Don't want to get stung at the dealers and not sure I want to take it in to Kwikfit or any of the franchised garages around my area.

Many thanks

I haven't used them, so can't recommend them, but my own investigations revealed that independents close to Harrow are thin on the ground. I have found Harris-Mayes at Rickmansworth and they advertise fixed price servicing. Harris Mayes Country Cars in Rickmansworth, Watford, Car Parts & Accessories Dealers in Watford WD3 - Touch Watford

If you do try them, please let me know, as I will no doubt need someone at a future point when my Defender needs something other than basic servicing.

Took the lazy option and went to the main dealer in the end ... Got totally fleeced! Fuel pump gave up on me two days before so what was supposed to be a quick service (was quoted 300 all in) ended up being a much bigger job ... their hourly rates are nuts!

Not going to be going back. Will try the Harris Mayes guys next time although there's a garage just round the road so I may go see him first as he has been very helpful and assisted the pregnant wife sort out a puncture and tyre change the other day.
