After many years of sterling service (and ardent Albion supporters), I have just heard that Rapid Autos in Portslade have shut down. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, privately run Garage. I'm in Withdean but anywhere in Brighton and Hove ?

Thanking you in anticipation

We use one in Olive Road, Portslade, next to where Dickies suit hire used to be. Can’t remember the name but has never let us down.

SB Motors, right by where the Goldstone was. Superb garage. Helpful, honest, don't charge excessive amounts, excellent work always.

A very timely thread as I’ve just been having this conversation in the pub with my brother, all of our family use/used Rapid.

Woodbourne on Ditchling Road opposite the golf course. I've been using them for 3 years. I'm sure others on here have used them longer, though.

Alpha servicing

My late grandad worked there before retiring.
Old school garage.

Highly reccomended.

Grants in Kemptown or Robertsons in Hove. Both family run businesses with excellent mechanics.

All of the garages mentioned are decent, also add Palmeira Servicing to the list in St John’s road hove, pfeiffers if it’s a vw or amber garage in southwick if it’s a Volvo. They’ve all been my customers for over 10 years.

Gary and Malc have both been wanting to retire for some time (they're not brothers). Both want more holidays and Gary to play more bowls, Malc to play more football
