Default Need some advice

Hiya.

My names Lisa, I just joined up as I have bought an 06 Fiesta ST

I live in Cov and work in Birmingham Central.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good Garage in Birmingham Central that I can take my ST to and get it checked over as there are some strange knocking noises when I go over bumps.

The garage needs to be in or immediately around the town centre so I can drop the car off and collect it easily.

Any help will be appreciated xx

Thanks for getting back to me.

I does not have to be Ford Dealer, infact, I would prefer not to pay extortionate rates at all.

Anywhere within a couple of miles radius would be great. I also want to get the coolant levels etc. sorted xx

Yes I know about Bristol Street but don't fancy taking the car to the Dealers and spending big money...

I live in Cov so don't know the Birmingham area too well hence asking for advice as to where to take it in the immediate vicinity.

I will google Digbeth and see what I can find.

Thanks xx

I just found this.

Is worth going for this considering I just bought the car?

Just seen your reply on the women are pains thread.

Brum city centre is a bit difficult really... there's a place in Highgate I've used before.

How about you explain and describe the knocking noise???

We could offer some advice.

Thanks lads but I managed to get the car checked over in the end and I think I really got a good deal too!

The problem was an Anti Roll Bar Drop Link.
