<![CDATA[Greater London - Southwark - Herne Hill - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Avoid at all costs http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/southwark/herne-hill/mechanics/croxted-motors-of-dulwich-se249dg.html#r52061 We took our Fiesta there as it has failed it's MOT on it's emissions at Kwik Fit. Kwik Fit do not fix emissions problems and as such we had to find somewhere else to get it repaired.

we were told by Croxted Motors that the car needed a new catalytic converter, which would cost £300. This duly paid, the car went back to Kwik Fit to be re-tested. It failed again on the same on the same thing, and it's emissions were exactly the same. The guy from Kwik fit said cars rarely need a whole new catalytic converter, and probably would have only needed a tune up. We took the car back to Croxted Motors and they kept it for three days to assess "what had gone wrong", each day promising it would be ready tomorrow. They kept it for so long that our 10-day re-test period at Kwik Fit ran out and we ended up having to pay Croxted Motors to carry out the MOT themselves. Upon getting it back the exhaust has now consistently caught on every speed bump we have gone over, despite getting it looked at twice. On top of this, the day after we got it back, we noticed that the spare wheel was missing out of the boot. Croxted Motors denied they had taken it until I started shouting at them, whereupon it miraculously turned up in the hands of one of their mechanics.

I can only suggest to people that they avoid this place at all costs.

They collected my car, supplied me with a courtesy car and repaired my car for me without any hassle to me. My car was delivered back to me shiny and clean and the repair was fantastic, like it had never even been damaged!

The food is great with Scallops and Bok Choy and a few house specialties as well as the basic dishes such as Pad Thai Noodles which are done very well. The interior is quite small and intimate with white wood panelling and classy decorations. Not over the top gold bling that you get in some Thai restaurants. The only disappointing point was the take-away delivery which is sometimes cold when it arrives.

This places sells Lego, Brio, Doctor Who stuff, all the usual stuff, plus the odd wooden scooter, plastic sword, mad things to throw and catch etc. Not a great range, but helpful staff.

If you want to buy a new bike but aren't sure what to get, they'll take the time to discuss your requirements and make some suggestions. When I got a bike from them, I got some extra gear like a kiddy seat, mudguards, panniers and they changed the handlebar for me, and charged me nothing extra for the work they did setting the bike up and didn't let me go until I was happy with it. They're great for repairs and servicing, but you'll need to book well in advance as they're often very busy. Limited range of gear, but they'll order stuff in for you if they don't have it. My favourite bike shop in London, and I've been in loads.
