Ring us, or come to Ellis Grove
Ring with the registration and say what the car is doing. If it is easier to type it than say it, or the workshop is loud when you call, send it in writing instead and you will get a call back.
Getting to the unit
Ellis Grove runs off Chilwell Road in Beeston, down towards the Dovecote Lane end. The garage is set back behind a fence with a white signboard on it reading Smith's Garage (Beeston). The unit is 2A and the number is painted on the wall beside the workshop door, which is the black roller door.
It is a short walk from Beeston town centre and from the tram, so leaving the car and getting home under your own steam is straightforward if the job is going to take a day.

There are two numbers about
If you have rung this garage before, you may have a different number written down, and you are not wrong. Both of these are Smith's Garage.
Have this ready when you ring
- The registration, so the right parts get looked up
- Roughly what mileage it is on
- What it is doing: the noise, the light, when it happens
- If it is an MOT, the date the current one runs out
Ring the garage
One phone call, one mechanic, and an answer about what the car needs looking at.
Or send it in writing
Two boxes and the registration. Julian is usually under a car when the phone goes, so writing it down often gets a straighter answer than leaving a voicemail.
