David Drew Garages, West Bridgford Nottingham

Conveniently located near Trent Bridge, this is a no nonsense, no frills garage. Ie, no shiny reception or lukewarm (or any) coffee machine. The owner/boss is the main receptionist, and the yard daily sees all sorts of cars old and newish that have been entrusted for proper servicing and repairs. I have taken my old unusual cars there for repair and advice as well as my modern daily and the chaps there are all helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The boss is usually to be found sitting at his desk by the front door on the phone to parts suppliers, or talking through work with customers etc. And all the staff have oily fingers!
