Where about's in Liverpool? whats needs doing?

South Liverpool try 1250 In Frodsham or Quinns on Edge Lane
Central Liverpool try Quinns on Edge Lane
North Liverpool try College Cycles in Crosby or Pedal Power in Formby Village.

Ive also used Evans in City centre, Did the job well but I prefer to use the local indi guys when & where possible.

Had a bit of experience with Quinns and they were good so no hesitation using them but lots of experience with Thattos and they have been great often fixing emergency last minute stuff at very short notice saving weekends away and they sell parts at pretty much online prices. As for extra travel it depends where you live but I'd assume Quinns would be closer if you're based in Liverpool. They have also done maintenance courses in the past if you get a few of you together.

South Liverpool try 1250 In Frodsham

Didn't know South Liverpool extended all the way into Cheshire 😆 Not used them but they come across as a decent bunch though.

Thatto's plus 1 too - genuinely nice staff

I never said it did... it was following on from the question of where is he based, so if he is South, try 1250 In Frodsham 🙄
