A few good motors 
A good, solid second hand dealership here. Cars are nothing special but they wil provide a decent warranty, something all too rare these days. They are mint when delivered too.

Smaller 
A smaller operation than i would normally use but that means they are really good at fitting in the odd small job. they put a new suspension arm on my Pug with only a days notice.

Alloys 
They have a great load of alloy wheels in the back of the shop and actually do some really good deals with tyres too - you have to get the fitted elsewhere though

Don't be put off by the really smart staff and the state of the art shop fittings - there are some really good deals here if you have the patience to weed them out. Ask about old phone exchange;
