Bongo friendly garage

Post by WesGolden » Thu Jun 06, 2024 10:34 am

Hi guys, new Bongo owner here. Got a 1995 2.5 Diesel and looking for a garage that knows them locally. I’m close to Askern/Selby Yorkshire. I have seen a few recommendations on here and contacted one in Pontefract but receptionist quoted £350 with 2 hours labour for cam belt and water pump change. Many have said on here half hour job and price seemed bit steep so don’t think I will go there.

If you have joined the Club itself (not just the forum) then there is a spreadsheet of garages all around the country that are knowledgeable. Click "Join Bongo" above centre then you can either login to the Members area or Join the club for a lot more curated information, including the garages details.

It's not a 30 minute job to do a cambelt and waterpump on the 2 5d. 90 minutes minimum if the job goes smoothly.
Allans garage closed. Try PGS (Plymouth Garage Services) or Mayflower Auto Services Plymouth

I used one in Thirsk for the same job 3 years ago and it was 300 quid then, I've done all my previous cars myself but I'm knocking on now and knew I'd struggle so was happy with the price and job done by a bongo man, its called 'Visar garage'.
