Hello all,
Just wondering if anybody could recommend a garage where English is spoken for work on wheel bearings/brakes. We have a Honda CRV.

Many thanks

If you are looking in the Ayamonte area, there was a Welsh couple recommended in the Car Tyres thread.

There´s the Ford garage but you pay triple! Take a dictionary and go to the Opel garage or try Jaime at Tasmania. Or get somebody local to help you out with translating.

Hi Sharon
Thanks for your suggestion. Being a pleb, could you tell me how I can find this thread, as I have used the search button at top and get nowhere.

Sharon B

No problem, we have all had to go through what you are trying to do.

Go to the top of the Ayamonte forum and there is a search forum box. Click on it and put in whatever you are searching for, in this case for eg type car tyres. You will then get a list of threads and then click into whatever info you require.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sharon - am making progress...now all I have to do is find the Welshman!

Jur

They´re in Calle Gibraleon, right hand side just before the Opel. But it´s a car tyre place not a mechanic.

Marymaccy

Yes, and my hubbie informs me that is not what we need! We hardly know how to explain the problem in English so we are not confident of going to a Spanish speaking garage.
Does anybody know someone in Portugal?

Sharon B

They do have a mechanic there as well, I needed my brakes checked.

Jur

Did you post it in the Portugal forum?

How much?

Sharon B

I just needed to know if I needed new brake pads. He checked them and told me that they were ok for a couple of months and didn't charge me anything. Ooooh that has just reminded me that was a couple of months ago, better get it sorted!!

Marymaccy

that's exactly our problem (I think)......will go and find him!
