This oneโs up for grabs.
Top Banana lists trusted tradespeople across all 32 regions of Scotland.
We claimed our spot on day one and within a few weeks we were getting enquiries from people we'd never have reached otherwise. Being the only web developer listed in Tranent means the right people find us - no competing with ten other agencies on the same page.
It looks like a fantastic resource. I was set up and live within the hour - I've even added it to my contact form so I can track the leads that come through.
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 Vatersay
Vatersay is the most southerly inhabited island in the Outer Hebrides, connected to Barra by a causeway since 1991.
The island has twin beaches on either side of a narrow isthmus and a small crofting community.
Properties include traditional croft houses and a small number of modern homes, with the island's dramatic beaches and landscape attracting visitors.
Vatersay has a community hall and looks to Castlebay on Barra for shops, services and transport connections.
About Outer Hebrides
.svg)
(opens in new tab)The Outer Hebrides (Na h-Eileanan Siar) are a chain of islands stretching 130 miles off Scotland's north-west coast, from the Butt of Lewis in the north to Barra and Vatersay in the south.
Stornoway on Lewis is the only town of any size and serves as the administrative, commercial and transport hub for the islands. The rest of the population is spread across crofting townships and small villages on Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra - communities connected by causeways, single-track roads and inter-island ferries.
The islands are the heartland of Scottish Gaelic language and culture. Gaelic is spoken as an everyday language here to a degree found nowhere else in Scotland and the traditions of crofting, weaving, fishing and storytelling remain central to island life. Harris Tweed - handwoven in the homes of islanders from locally dyed wool - is a globally recognised fabric and a vital part of the local economy.
The landscape is extraordinary: white shell-sand beaches on the Atlantic coast, ancient standing stones at Callanish, the mountainous terrain of Harris, the flat machair grasslands of the Uists and some of the darkest skies in Europe. Wildlife - sea eagles, otters, seals and vast seabird colonies - draws naturalists from around the world.
CalMac ferries connect the islands to the mainland from Ullapool, Uig on Skye and Oban, while Loganair flights serve Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra - where the beach at Traigh Mhor famously serves as the runway. Despite the remoteness, the islands have a strong and self-reliant community life shaped by faith, Gaelic culture and the rhythms of the sea.
