Does anyone know of a decent, trustworthy and Jap-knowledgable garage in Cambridgeshire? (or East Anglia if it comes down to having to travel) I have little faith in my local dealer (prices & expertise!) and will be needing a BIG service very soon......

Perhaps there's a Jap car specialist round the corner or something...?

Anyone else had garages say that they will call back with a quote and then never hear from them again..... ...are they all really THAT over-subscribed that they can turn business away?!

I take it that it's Priory on Mill Road that you don't like? Only other Mazda dealer I know is Donalds in Peterborough. Good, but the usual Mazda prices. I prefer them to Priory, but Cambridge is easier for me to get to. 'Cos of the cambelts, I'd be inclined to use a main dealer, but go indi for other services.

I've found a guy in Barton who was recommended to me through a friend who has had dealings (and employment) with them in the past. As I trust his judgement I'll take it down there.

I would agree with your opinion about getting the main dealers to do a cambelt change but I don't trust the Mill Rd lot as they couldn't even find a simple leak in an air pipe of a friend's MX3, and put them through all sorts of hell, just to shrug their shoulders in the end....... ..kinda scary considering how they had missed an initial and elementary check given the symptoms!! ..Don't really want people like that to un-mount the engine etc!!

Cambelt : £50
Labour: £175 all inc.
