Question Anyone know any trustworthy garages in N.I????

hey all,
Looking for garage advice from other N.I Audi owners. or not to deep south of Ireland.

Want somewhere knowledgable of our old cars, does a good job at fair prices?
I know i am asking the impossible but anyone got good experiences that can point me in the right direction?

IE. i'm needing a timing belt and waterpump done, all fluids changed, gearbox oil changed, someone that can check for and repair vacume leaks if there, and find the cause of my mystery missfire/hesitation that seems to have resurfaced.......................

Really someone that knows these old motors inside out.... (90 2.3E)

TIA
Dan.

You could tackle most of that yourself,take your time and save a right load of cash,You'd need a crank locking tool for the timing belt,and torque wrench which you can hire all 5 pots are much the same.

And you can also do it without that locking tool as well.

When weldor made for me one for my specs, his father just for fun showed it to local mechanic, asking him what it is, and he didn't knew. Why? Because he's doing it by putting crowbar in flywheel for years...
I did that for myself using classic method using wrench with long pipe and someone at the wheel strongly pushing brakes
