Default Garage recommendation Bedford / Milton Keynes area

A couple of job need doing on my Sons 240 automatic estate.

It needs a rear crankshaft/main seal, as well as the rear lower trailing arm bushes. He/we have done quite a few jobs on it so far to repair and get things right - timing belt and camshaft seal done last weekend etc.

So, looking for a garage to get the seal and bushes done .

Any recommendations in the MK / Bedford area please ?

Its a straightforward machine to work on. Arden Park Garage Services in MK are, I hear often, a good balance between competence and cost.

Or drive a little further beyond MK & go to Horton?

Horton isn't too far away. Which garage is recommended over there ?

They're near Oakley, quite a way the other side of Bicester from you.
