It's so hard to find an affordable and honest garage, but I have finally found a garage that tick…read moreboth these boxes. I was introduced to William Paul Motor Engineering by my dad, who uses the garage too. It is a family run independent garage servicing the Kirkcudbrightshire area. William Paul carries out full garage services including: all makes servicing, vehicle repairs, MOT testing, diagnostics, breakdown recovery and wash & vacuuming. Ok, so it's a little far from my home (108 miles) in the Dumfries and Galloway region, but taking my car there and back is worth it. Yes, I'm probably spending over £40 on mileage to get there and back to Edinburgh, but it is still cheaper than going to an Edinburgh garage, plus I get to visit my folks when down there for the weekend! The garage is officially open Mon - Fri 08:00-18:00, Sat 08:00-12:00 and Sun Closed, but I usually find William and co working on cars well into the night at 8pm and starting 7am. William Paul is a very hard working and trust worthy mechanic. His business is fairly new, but I've heard nothing but good things about him. The constant stream of vehicles in a out of his garage is a fine example of his good work. I use William Paul for my MOTs and servicing and he can usually have it back to me after one morning - assuming there are no major issues. He keeps me up to date on his progress with my car and always forewarns me if there are an major issues or expense, prior to carrying out the work. Some garages just go ahead and fix it regardless of checking you are able to afford the bill! Labour is charged out at £25 per hour, which is very reasonable. I'm glad to see his business doing so well and I will continue to support his venture, even though it's a 2 and a half hour drive there!
