Never heard of them but this doesn't look good if it's the same one.

That’s definitely not the same business in Glossop , that guy closed up seven years ago! Thankfully! I don’t know the garage in Romily (which is also near me) but I know Alex Toon used to use them.

If you read the article it isn't Minicanics that are being blasted, they are helping owners who the other crowd duped.

Yeah, I didn't get as far as reading the article! Glad you pointed it out. That was a very misleading combination of headline and strapline giving completely the wrong impression of Minicanics, who are the good guys. Lesson there I suppose, but I wouldn't be too happy with that front page if I were them.

I also read the article which suggests that Minicanics stepped into help. All I can suggest is that any local forum members add comments as that is what we seek to help out with.
