Going to bite the bullet and have the timing belt, aux drive belt and CV joint/top strut bearing/whatever is making that awful grinding noise when I corner, looked at.

Can anyone recommend a good garage/mechanic in Surrey (Preferably near Addlestone/Chertsey (J11 of M25) or in Guildford)

There is a very good garage on the chertsey road as you enter Chobham(near woking).I cant remember the name but my father uses them regularly.They specialise in volvo's but they cover all makes.They also do MOT's.

Is that as if you were heading towards Chobham town centre (Such as it is!)

I think I know the place you mean.

Did you check out the Good Garages guide on this site?

tinyurl.com/cxxhy, look to the right for the menu of regions.

Thanks!!!

I did try, but all I saw in Directories was:


"In the summer of 1996 the 'Motoring' section of the Daily Telegraph ran a reader's story about the differences between big garages in Britain and small garages in France.

"I felt that the contrast was more likely to be between bad garages and good garages generally, so I asked for readers' recommendations. The list continues to grow, and the most recent version is published here.

"Remember, the list is based purely on readers' recommendations, and inclusion is no guarantee of quality, competence or good value. Nevertheless, many of the testimonials were fulsome in their praise, so if you are looking for good service from your garage, this list may be a good start. Select your region from the menu on the right."

(Satisfied customers: if you'd like to recommend a favourite garage, tell us why in an email to goodgarages@honestjohn.co.uk with the garage's name, address and telephone number.)


I couldn't find the link. One of those days I guess.

you want the list for "south of the thames"

www.honestjohn.co.uk/directories/good_garages/DirG...m

which mentions garages in chertsey, woking, hersham, weybridge, etc.

there are a few people here who live near the area you mention, ( hj himself, renault-family, just to mention two ). they might come along later to post their own personal recoms.

My father has used this garage for the last four years.They have serviced his volvo fo the last four years including replacing the cv joints.They have also just serviced his passat estate,including cam belt change and fixing his air-con(required new compressor).He is very pleased with the work,cost(much,much cheaper than vw and volvo dealerships)and also the convenience(he lives just down the road)
