Default Can you recommend a mechanic in the Newbury or Slough Area?

Hi
I need to get a new Cambelt fitted to my Lucy. I live near Newbury & work in Slough - if anyone has anyone they can recommend anywhere close to these areas please do let me know. I do have a good mechanic in Slough but he seems a bit confused with the Estima for changing the Cambelt, he thinks it will take around 8 hours (If anyone can point out how this could be quicker and easier again I would be glad to know so I can let me regular guy know)
Thanks
Adam

Have a look for Buffalo Bob on here. Best Estima mechanic you will ever find. He travels, so will come to you , and he is based in south east.

He did my cambelt in about an hour, ( including the cup of tea! )

I think he charges less than £200 as well.

Hello, as a first time Estima owner I arranged for Bob to do a bit of precautionary work on my new bus, and he came all the way over to my place in Reading yesterday and did a great job at a great price, and because he's so used to Estima's he did it nice and quick too.
Took me a couple of tries to get him on the phone, but once I spoke to him he was very quick and a very nice bloke.
Anyone with an Estima in the South East should have Bob's number.
Thoroughly recommended.
Thanks Bob.
