Car repairs

petrolhead · #1 (**permalink**) 12th October 2011, 04:37 AM

My exterior door handle has broken and I've managed to get another from dealership but decided against them fitting it as we're all well aware what these guys charge.

Would anyone know if I took the car to a Kwik Fit (or the likes) at a petrol station whether they'd be equipped to repair? Or even better someone to come to my home

Thanks

Ive used the garage at the meadows petrol station before for the fitting of a coolant fill tank, basically had a leak in the plastic tank whilst filling with fuel. Took it straight in they ordered the part and fitted it for me. Fitting cost was only a couple of hundred DHS, the cost of the plastic tank from Porsche was another mattter $$$$. They seem to be able to most jobs that dont require special dealer tools.

If you want I can help you out... I brought some key tools with me when I shipped my truck over

Thanks Laowei, yes I've used them too and they were the ones I was thinking of but have been trying to locate a phone number for them to ask rather than travelling all the way for a wasted journey. If Infamous falls through

I shall take the car to them. Cheers
