The mechanic won't be able to hear it if your wife gets out...



There are a couple of places that seem to get good recommendations...



One is Tiga Trading... Over the Buffavento road and down near the roundabout on the Ercan Lefkosa road.

If you are prepared to travel to just outside Lefkosa, try Ozok Ltd (main Kia importer, but services/repairs all makes). I have used this garage for 3 years now and the service offered is first class: you are shown old parts and the manager and his mechanincs/staff speak good English. tel - 0392 2253539. Once repairs/service are/is completed, car is thoroughly cleaned inside, outside and engine compartment. I had my rear brake shoes replaced there earlier this year and then discovered another problem with fading brakes after 1/2 hour or so driving - they diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, fixed the problem at no extra charge all within the next day. Top service and highly recommended. I will email directions if you are interested.

seems like a bit far to go to get a car serviced. I would only consider travelling that far if they did the service while you waited and if it took no more than a couple of hours. Wouldn't fancy having to leave it over night that far away. Not very economical getting a taxi home and then back the following day.
