Yes. Take it to Ziggy where many of us do who live in Alsancak and Lapta.



From the main road, take the road down to the merit Hotel and his garage is a large barn-like building about 300 metres down on the right hand side. Their are no signs or name on it, but it stands alone and you can't miss it.

Just been to see Ziggy, what a nice guy, explained fully what I needed and gave me a kind of quote as well - at the price he quoted for engine removal and rear end oil seal replacement, I will be going back to have the work done for sure. Well worth going to have a word with him.

I always use Ziggy, he is a London TurkCyp and learnt his trade in UK. I have often come away from his garage without paying anything for having small problems sorted. But be warned I think he runs his garage as a hobby and he is more interested in playing Tawula with his mates in the garage. If you turn up mid game then be prepared to wait until the game is over. But the guy is the salt of the earth and if there is anything he cannot do (emission tests for example) then he has a relative that is only a phone call away and it will be sorted.
