Don't think I've asked this here, so...

My wife's 2011 Kia Sportage is in need of some attention [rear parking sensors are playing up], but having only had the car 3/4 months, we haven't decided/found who too use for servicing and repairs.

Not really interested in using a Kia dealer, as the car is over 10 years old and I'm a big fan of a decent independent.

Thing is, there isn't exactly Kia specialists in the same way there are plenty of VW, Jaguar, BMW specialist here in the Midlands...so wondering if you guys can recommend a good 'general' Independent garage [Solihull, Coventry, maybe Redditch]?

Thanks.

Several times, but a couple of years ago now. Pete did my MOTs too, as he's into classics, so he can be sympathetic. smile

Have used Earlswood Garage for my wife's cars for a few years.

She's currently in a 2008 Impreza RX and they were able to sort a braking issue which the nearby Subaru specialist couldn't identify. Definitely reccomend them
