garages in west london? recomendations please
the mondeo is making horrible noises from the front suspension so i need to take it somewehre to get it looked at
the criteria is as follows
must be open on a saturday
must be able to diagnose the fault/s
must be able to fix the fault/s
must be a reasonable fixed rate for the job
must be trustworthy and not fuck me over
i don't mind forking out a few quid for them to have a look at it, but i don't then want to be faced with a bill of thousands to get it fixed
i'd use the normal guy round the corner but the leaseholder changed the locks so he's no longer working there, and the next nearest place is in earls court and not assecable to me at the weekends
i'm looking at getting it to somewhere that's within a bus ride to the airport so i can get home again afterwards

hounslow is fine 
i've looked at it and, to be honest, i've given up changing bits and bobs on it only for the noise to still be there afterwards
i'm pretty sure it's the arb to body bushes or the cv joint, niether of which i really want to do myself in the rain and general stink of the outside weather, sometiems it's just easier for osmeone to do something in a few hours and pay them as opposed to finding the time to go and get it done yourself
it's also the fact that the mondeo has some fiddly suspension settings that i need to make sure are spot on and that tehre are WAY too many speed humps round this neck of the woods to be able to live in peace and confort

Kentish Town too far out? Family relative owns it and I'm very close personal friends with the mechanic. Will do all of what you specified above. They are sometimes ludicrously busy on Saturdays too!

they were my second pick to be honest, i'm sure they'd do a cracking job too but i'm not sure i could be tempted away from spending a lot on suspension "upgrades" while i was there 
which is why i'm after a "normal" garage to do a fit and forget job to it

thanks for all the suggestions everybody but i am going to go to totd on saturday morning because it's the most convenient for me timewise and placewise
i'm sure that everyone here has recommended places that may help others in the near future so the names will go into my book of places to pop into if i'm in the area
there have been other factors that have forced my hand though (all work related i may add so no conspiracy theories please) which is why i've not been about for most of yesterday and today
