If you can't find a garage within walking distance of work and have to take a day off to get your car serviced or MOT'ed, then you might as well make a day of it. Pick a garage near to something fun.
That's it. I just had my MOT carried out by a garage near a canal. So I got to have myself a little picnic in the sunshine while they tested. Certainly preferable to sitting in a garage or showroom and far less stressful than trying to organise a courtesy car when most have to be returned long before I can get back in the evening. As a pedlar of picnics I'm a great believer that people should picnic more! And my own mini-picnic was the ideal opportunity for some blatant product placement for Popcorn Kitchen pop corn.
