I panic everytime my car has to go for its MOT. It’s so old and knackered that I’m always convinced that she’ll fail and cost me a fortune in repairs. Miraculously, I haven’t had any problems with her yet, though. I often wondered if that might be more to do with the thorough nature of the MOT, or the car itself, so this year I decided to take the car to www.carmotshoddesdon.co.uk to see if they would give me a different result.

Is there anything worse than your car breaking down? You feel completely helpless. I have relied on my car for years and when it broke a couple of weeks ago, I felt like I didn’t know what to do. It’s funny how we forget about public transport when we’ve been driving for a few years! I was lucky that my car stopped working just down my road, so I could walk home from where it had broken down. I needed to find a company who could repair my car quickly and to a really high standard. My friend recommended that I go to www.carbreakdownshitchin.co.uk for their help.

You think that when you get a new car that you won’t have any problems with it. I bought my brand new Micra after years of putting up with an old banger, which threatened to break down every other day. I was so excited. I thought I would be free of all problems. And, as I saw it, even if I did have problems, I could just take it to the garage and get them to fix it under warranty.

So when I noticed that my gears were sticking a little, that’s exactly what I did. When  got it back after a few days, the problem was still there, though. I sent it back, and again, it returned in the same state. I decided enough was enough, so I took the car to www.carservicinghitchin.co.uk and decided I would send Nissan the bill. (more…)

We came up with the perfect retirement present for my father-in-law – a beat up old motor.

Really, it is better than it sounds. It’s actually a vintage car, although don’t ask me what make and model, because I know nothing about these things.

We also found him www.Vintagecarsroyston.co.uk, because he is definitely going to need some help fixing it up.

I’ve always been a bit confused about which is the best place to go to for car repairs, so when my Volkswagen Golf broke down on the motorway, I decided to check online for advice. I am such a fan of Volkswagens, they’re so well made, and they last for years and years.

It was a simple decision after that. Everyone in the Buntingford area was saying the same thing, and there was a quick and easy website for me to look at, without being hassled. www.volkswagencarservicingbuntingford.co.uk did exactly what it said on the tin, and made my life simple when I wanted to compare like for like on getting Volkswagen car servicing in Buntingford.

I decided it was high time that I learnt to drive. I did start to learn when I was seventeen years old but had a bad experience with my driving Instructor and ended up stopping them. I have managed to put it off until my ripe age of thirty. It doesn’t feel good when your little sister has started driving lessons before you. I’m so excited as i know that it will make such a difference to my day to day life. I’ll finally be able to get where I need to be on time as I will no longer be a slave to public transport! Buses and trains are the bane of my life these days. (more…)

I can’t put it off any longer. My car is beginning to cough and splutter as though it was smoking 60 a day. I love my car so much, but it does need a lot of extra servicing and work now that it is getting older. I can’t bear to part with though, and it would really upset me if I couldn’t get fixed properly.

I have to admit that I have not been showing it very much loving care over the last year and maybe this is its way of reminding about this fact. (more…)
