Hi guys, van just failed the mot on a few bits but the garage doesn't want the work.

Any recommendations for a T25 friendly mechanic in Edinburgh?

What does the fail sheet say? "A few bits" can rapidly escalate.

Nothing life changing, went through that last year.

Spoke to a few people and found Heriot Hill who seem to work on a lot of classic VWs.

I have a friend who uses Heriot Hill for his T4. Last year I was recommended Donzlinz out in Broxburn who gave mine a once over, put it through it's MOT, then sorted some minor issues.

Are Heriot Hill recommended? I'm looking for a garage to fit a VW Speedshop exhaust and replace a thermostat on a 1.9DG

Heriothill, probably the worst garage i’ve ever used. Never again.

Oh, that's a shame as the location was perfect. May I ask what the problem was with them?

Multiple. They have a bad rep.
