Ok, not strictly bike chat, but jen needs her ka servicing and its developed a steering problem that needs looking at urgently? Can anyone recommend somewhere decent, reliable, honest and reasonable? Not words usually associated with garages I know! Lol
Thanks

If you possibly have no joy, i use Cridge Autos in Wootton Basset for car and sometimes bike, Paul is an engineer and always goes the extra mile, brilliant mechanic and a sound bloke. Also does bike MOT's if anyone is interested, and as a biker he isn't 'anal'.

could have done a "servicing course" on this at my place.
if you do it yourself, mind out as the KA has tapered seat spark plugs that become corroded into the head, and are a right bugger to get out...................
if you want to do this yourself, give me a shout, i also have trade discounts at certain places.....
im also an ex ford mech.

I take my boys to bike treafds, behing George Whites. They've always done a superb job.
I know it is not Swindon but either Bridge garage in WB or ABC in WB, others than that my neighbour works at Audi
Gary out at North Stratton Service Station is who I take my cars to, have been going there for almost 25 years

Update - took it to advanced cars. They were great. Fixed the steering good as new. Have since part ex'd the car against a 206 quicksilver though as it has a load of other things just waiting to go wrong.... You can just sense it's not right when driving it.
Thanks for the advice all!
