Van repairs - finding garages

[Scott_D]

Does anyone else struggle with van repairs?
None of the local garages will work on vans and the main dealer is miles away

The starter motor on my Trafic needs replacing, just had quote for £500 from the only nearby garage that are interested

Mine is still under warranty so not had that issue yet.

Took me almost 8 months to decide. Right pain in the back side.

Mine's a car-derived van, 2004 model. I've had the alternator replaced no fuss when it died on me, and the brake load compensator freed off for an MOT. The coil springs, cambelt, driveshaft gaiters, and service items I did myself, but I doubt I'd struggle to find an interested garage.

With the tinted windows?

Not tinted.

There's a joke in your post, I think, but I'm missing it.
