THERE are many garages around Herefordshire with plenty of reliable and highly-skilled mechanics taking care of our motors.

We asked Hereford Times readers to recommend mechanics and were bowled over as more than 150 people came forward to share where they take their vehicles for repairs, maintenance, Ministry of Transport (MOT) tests and other services.

In no particular order, these are three of the most common recommendations shared by our readers.
