Can anyone recommend a good garage in leeds? I have been going to my garage for decades but have now lost faith in him. Last MOT I had discs and pads replaced at cost of £170. 4 months and only 700 miles later one of the front brakes was binding and the wheel getting hot. So I took it back. "Oh the front flexi pipe (flexible brake pipe) has collapsed and the caliper had siezed". I said later when I went to collect the car "but you replaced that pipe only 10,000 miles ago!" So then he mumbled something about having cleared it out but "caliper still siezed. £150 including vat to replaced". Anyway for once I didnt agree the work. Took the car home and dismantled the brakes (easy). Bit of cleaning up and moved the piston out and in and back together. Now working fine! Saved £150. Oh yes and when he had the wheel off looks like it was stood on the alloy side and all scuffed! Oh and no sign of him having dismantled any brake pipe or part of the brakes!

Are there any mechanics on here that could help me. Around bramley or Otley. I've taken my car to ford a few times and they tell me nothing is wrong. But my other half was sat in the passenger seat the other day and he said it wasn't normal and he said it sounded like a drive shaft. Now ford have said every thing is totally fine.
Basically when my car is cold and I set off. My steering is extremely stuff if I turn the steering left it is very difficult to maneuver and it makes a loud clunk noise underneath where the passenger can actually feel it at their feet. Now I told ford this. They checked it over I've been charged twice to be told nothings wrong. Once my car is on the move and it warms up the car drives normal. So I'd love to find someone in either bramley or Otley who can offer me help who is trustworthy too!! I drive with my son in it and I'm adamant there is something not right with it!!!! every now and again if I turn ot to the right it screeches. Ford told me that was normal too?! X
