Mobile mechanic needed mid Kent

Post by HytestA »

Hi all, just wondering if any Kent members have any recommendations of a T25 friendly mobile mechanic, our Holdsworth decided to break down on the motorway the other week and I have been left with a gearbox that is pretty much useless (stuck in 1st). RAC man checked the linkages but could not get it working so suspects problem more gearbox related.
Van is now stuck on the driveway so hence need a good mechanic to get gearbox out and see whats needed... I just hope its not a new gearbox.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

I'm based near Aylesford so anywhere in the Maidstone/Medway region will be great :)

Thanks
Lee

Lee, sorry to learn of your plight :( I dont know if they can offer a mobile man, but there is a T3 friendly garage in Strood. If they don't do mobile work, its not that far so perhaps a trailer ride there might not cost a mint. See bottom of this thread for more details: https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=99585" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hope that is of use to you, good luck :ok
