Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a garage in the Borders or in Edinburgh. I live near Duns but would be willing to travel a bit if I find the right garage. Ideally somewhere that does not charge too much, provides friendly service (so many garages are just not interested) and a place that may know its way around older cars (mine is a 1988, Mercedes s-class W126)

Thanks
Norm

Try Brian Miller Motors - specialist in Porsche & German Marques. He's had a few old Mercedes around when I've been there in the past. 2 Lanark Road, 0131 443 7806.

I used Lochrin Autos on Lochrin place in Edinburgh for my old 1990 20v quattro turbo. Really like the place, the guys seem excellent and very friendly. No unnecessary work carried out, reasonable prices too. I still use them for my '04 Merc and no problems at all.

I use Serviceline in Newtown St.Boswells, and hear good things about Gattonside Garage.

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

I do remember trying Lochrin Autos when I was a student but thought they charged rather a lot for the service they offered.

Cheers
