Can't think of any other forum to post this in so here goes;-

Does anyone know of a good Independent garage in Basingstoke that my son could use to take his Fabia to, if need be? I know the nearest Skoda garages are in Winchester or Aldershot but it might not be possible to get to one of these.

Ok so not an independent, or in Basingstoke, but there is the newish skoda dealers in Reading too, which isn't too far away.

There is one. I think it is called SJB or something like that. Its just round the corner from where Chris E. works.

That's spot on. Just checked their website and they seem to be just what the doctor ordered and not far from Motorola in Chineham where Mike (my son) is working.

Many thanks.

Yep as Ian said Sjb.Jim the chap who runs it is very good been there twice excellent service.

Thanks again chaps.

In googling to get SJB's web address I came across this;- http://briskoda.net/tuners-workshops/sjb-autotech-basingstoke/70483/

All good to know.

SJB are just up the road from me - I will be certainly be using them come service time from what people on here and on other forums have said.

I use AutoCentres on the Moniton Trading Estate, They service most of the Octavia Taxis in Basingstoke and have allways done good honest work for me.
