Story
As if things arent tough enough at the moment our good friend Steve Smith lost his business to a devastating fire on the evening of Wednesday 15th April. Steve had to watch his business which he has built up over the last 20 years burn to the ground in a matter of minutes and is left with nothing. His garage is located at the rear of 53 Woodhouse road, North Finchley, Barnet (behind the co-op) . The cause of the fire is yet to be confirmed but it is believed it started in one of the adjoining garages. Steve is a true gent and great mechanic who would do anything to help anyone. Please help us raise as much as we can to help Steve get back on his feet. We appreciate it is tough times at the moment but any donation no matter how small will be greatly appreciated

Steve, this is terrible. We are so sorry to hear about this awful fire. You have always been there when we have needed help with our various cars over the last 20 years at least.
