    Hey,

    Im trying to find Ken Fildes Garage on google maps before I take it for a full service. i've been burnt by dodgy garages before so id rather go out of the way to find this guy then the local big garages and dealers. If someone can give me directions from clonee I would be very grateful.

    Regarding local garages, does anyone have an opinion on the Clonee Motor Center? They charge E250 for a full service. My suspension will need to be taken off to replace brake pads so It would get very pricey. I wouldnt mind paying extra if I knew everything would be done well.

    Kai.

    Thats it on the right hand side of the road as your looking down on it. So it will be on your left as you comes from Clonee direction. It's easy enough to miss, just keep an eye ou and tak eit handy after you come around the bend at the top of the road.

    Be careful pulling out of the yard, especially if cars are parked outside.

    What car needs suspension removed to change brake pads?

    My break pads are almost gone and went to the local garage to have them replaced. I was told that one of the wheel nuts had been forced in and the thread was destroyed.

    The options were to force the nut out and drive with 3 wheel nuts on one of the rear tyres (and fail my NCT in February) or have the whole suspension removed and have the brake pads replaced that way.

    I don't trust the garage because twice I have tried to explain a fault on the car and what I suspect it is, and twice they did nothing and charged me E30 to clear the system.

    My knowledge of cars is very limited so I have to go on the trust of the mechanic. Id take someone recommended time and again over my local.

    For a full service and the labour of removing the suspension, I cant afford to go back and have anything else done.

    Kai.
