Nigel Langs Garage, Bolton

My second visit after a couple of years to have a full alignment check and report on a recently acquired car. The job took over 90 minutes and Peter took the car for three road tests before he was finally satisfied with the result. He then spent some time discussing the handling problem and made really sensible recommendations to resolve it. The cost - a very reasonable £60. Even though everyone was busy, the eponymous owner, Nigel - very much a 'hands-on' chap and busy in the workshop himself, found time to make me a brew and lent me a pair of reading glasses while I was in the waiting area going through the pile of car magazines. From the waiting area you can watch everyone at work, and the whole atmosphere is one of knowledgeable efficiency and professionalism.
