good garages in Colchester/Essex ***HELP!!***
« on: 08 February 2006, 15:02 »
Hi guys,  need help!

Just been whippin off my bumper to fit a new wing when the cross member it's bolted to decided to bust its bolts on one side  :shocked:

anyone know any good, reliable, if poss cheap (or at least reasonable  :smiley:) garages in Colchester?  This aint something I can fix meself, although I have tried  :undecided:

The whole "longtitudinal member" is now a good 4 inches lower on the o/s.  I'm thinkin I shouldn't drive it anywhere whilst it's like this... :cry:

DAMN THING!!!!

Hi there, might be worth calling John Austins at Marks Tey, ive used them before, seem quite good. They've picked up my one of my old cars before when a front caliper had seized on.
