has anyone been to the new garage ın esentepe vıllage?? Had my car servıced there the other day and ıt ıs so much easıer than goıng all the way ınto kyrenıa. There ıs a turkısh man there who speaks good englısh and an englısh woman who works ın the offıce. left the car there, went to have lunch ın one of the local restaurants and came back and collected my car. It ıs a new garage ı belıeve, opened a few months ago, but very handy to have ın the vıllage. ıf nobody knows where ıt ıs, go past the petrol statıon and supermarket on the left, and take the next left and ıt ıs there on the left.

I had my car serviced there.

New cylinder head gasget and cam belt fitted, full service, 550 YTL. They couldn't fix the air con though, quoted over £1000 for the part. ( can get one from the UK for less than a hundred quid) The actual service cost 50 YTL plus parts (oil etc). I think the gasget and cam belt would have cost a lot more in UK. The car was valeted inside and out and now drives like a dream. They also pointed out future problems with the car...Catalystic converter needs replacing soon..Ouch. But I've checked the internet, and there are several Jap car breakers that can deliver the goods.

I have been given telephone numbers of several 'contacts' for car servicing, ex pats abroad etc, but thought I'd try a local company who are legitimate businesses, and give receipts for the work they do, so there is a comeback if something goes wrong.

Can't fault what has been done to my vehicle.

Ask for Ali, and mention my name, you never know I may get discount on my next service !!

Vee123, Just read your directions properly - is it not 1st right after the supermarket on LHS and Mosque on RHS and then it's on the left. Otherwise I'm thinking of somewhere else.
