I'm probably going to be looking at a car in Portsmouth this Saturday, and would like someone to have a glance over the car before I buy. I'm going to do a data check to see if the car has any hidden history, so the main thing I'd be after is a mechanical inspection.

Does anyone know of or own a good garage? I am considering just getting an MOT check at a random garage, but that can be a bit hit and miss.

Staple Garage in Northcote Road, Southsea. 02392754425. Give them a call, or pop round and see them. I've found they always give an honest opinion (a close family friend is a mechanic back home to verify)
