Thumbs up for Adithorp
trextr7monkey - 13/6/13 at 09:40 AM

Daughter had a problem with her car, living away from home in Manchester, she's had a few "near rip off experiences" previously but I saw a reference to Adrian's garage the other week on here and made a mental note.
Cutting a long story short she rocked up at his garage this morning, first thing he fixed dodgey connection and refused to take any payment from her.
Top bloke!

Edit -have removed the mistaken "l" from title Aldithorp which probably spoils half the posts here

Its a good job you didn't take her to lidlthorp, heard they are a bit of a rip off

I use Adi's remote repair service (he tells me what I've done wrong and I struggle to fix it) all the time.

As long as you can handle the abuse it is great service!

"Aldithorp" - well Adi's place is next door to an Aldi.

I would also recommend Adithorp both for kit car and tin top.

He has helped me out on several occasions. Top bloke.

Not a problem Mike. I eat enough Aldi biscuits and use enough of their cheap tools for the name to stick.

...and Mike refused to not pay me, so he's kindly donated £10 to the beer fund. Can't useit at Newark as I'llbe driving so I'll save it for on the ferry to Spain next week.

thumbs up too.

My kit broke at road side, I couldnt fathom out the issue. Called the recovery, I jumped in the truck, said take me to work and the car to Adi, with no booking in he fixed it same day. Top Man. I recall he insisted on a drive round the block for "testing " purposes though.

Might want to print this out and pin it on the wall of your workshop

...and my hearing hasn't been right since!

Not sure that's a good idea, Nick. I might end up witha load of bloody kit-cars to fix.
