About Mechanics
A mechanic services, repairs and maintains cars, vans and other vehicles - from routine oil changes and brake pads to diagnostics, MOT preparation and engine work.
A good local mechanic who knows your car and gives you a straight answer is one of the hardest things to find and one of the most valuable when you do.
Check they are registered with a recognised scheme such as the Good Garage Scheme or Motor Ombudsman and ask for a written estimate before any work begins.

About Aberlour
Aberlour is a Speyside village on the banks of the River Spey, officially known as Charlestown of Aberlour after its 18th-century founder Charles Grant of Wester Elchies.
The village sits at the heart of Scotland's malt whisky country and is the home of the Aberlour and Walkers Shortbread brands.
Properties include traditional stone-built houses along the high street, Victorian villas and modern homes, with some fine riverside properties.
Aberlour has a primary school, local shops and a village green and is well placed on the Speyside Way long-distance walking route.
The attractive village setting and mix of older and newer properties generate demand for tradespeople across the building, plumbing and electrical trades.
About Moray
(opens in new tab)Moray is a council area on the southern shore of the Moray Firth in north-east Scotland, stretching from the fertile coastal lowlands inland through the broad valley of the River Spey to the fringes of the Cairngorms.
Elgin is the administrative centre and largest town, a handsome settlement built around the ruins of its medieval cathedral - once known as the Lantern of the North. Forres, Lossiemouth, Buckie and Keith are the other main towns, each with a distinct character shaped by the industries and landscape around them.
The region has the highest concentration of malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Speyside - the valley of the River Spey running through Dufftown, Craigellachie and Aberlour - is home to some of the most famous names in Scotch whisky and the Malt Whisky Trail draws visitors from around the world. Dufftown alone has more distilleries than most countries.
RAF Lossiemouth is one of the largest military bases in Scotland and a major employer in the area, while the Moray Firth coast supports fishing communities at Buckie, Burghead and Lossiemouth. Farming - particularly barley growing, which feeds the distilleries - remains central to the local economy across the fertile coastal plain.
Transport links include the A96 connecting Elgin to Inverness and Aberdeen, with rail services running along the same corridor. The A95 follows the Spey valley south towards the Cairngorms, connecting the whisky towns and providing access to the Highlands.
