Recommended Garages

[d80tb7]

Hi all,

I noticed that quite often people post in here for recommended garages, bodyshops, wheel refurbishment etc.  I know we have the forum for recommendations but sometimes it can be a bit hard to find somewhere that's local to you.   I've therefore created page which shows the location of all the recommended garages on one easy to use map.  You can then find somewhere that's near you and click on the icon for a bit more information (including a link to the original forum page so you can see how highly it was recommended). 

The map is at:

If anyone notices any mistakes, just let me know on this thread, and if you have any more garages you want adding then just put them in the recommended garages section in this forum and I'll add them.

You'll also note that I've used the forum logo and style, which is because I suck at graphic design.  if the administrators want me to remove this then I'm more than happy to do so.

Add a postcode search in too!

Am I missing something.

I have tried the link, comes up with the map, but not one pin is showing, even tried zooming into Manchester and still nothing 

So what have I done wrong 

[edd666999]

it requires you to click on an area, doesnt work as smoothly as the OP has intended, but im sure with either a post code search or some tweeking all will be well.

Good idea, I should be able to implement that.

No it should show all the pushpins by default; you shouldn't need to zoom in (although you can to get a clearer view).  The chances are I've made some sort of coding error but can I ask what browser and operating system you are using?

thanks,

Chris

I tried chrome + I.e 32bit+64. On windows 7 + xp

the pins don't work for me in chrome, firefox, or IE8 on xp SP3 if I move over the map the cursor changes and I can click to bring up the balloon with the additional information but the pins just don't appear.

Idea is great though especially linking to the recommendation, as this removes the issue of subjective info as you can review the comments made.

No link balloons here either.

My Bad 

The links to all the pushpins weren't quite pointing to the right place.

Should be fixed now.

No recommended garages inside the M25 

Looks like I will be going for long drives once I get my GTI 

[d80tb7]

thanks all..

I added postcode support so you can type your postcode and it will centre the map and zoom in for you.

Also if anyone wants to recommend me a good garage around Southampton then I'm all ears.....

Once SteveP gets some time to look at this, i am sure we can make it a sticky i the relevant section.

Midland VW (21 Conduit Rd, Norton Canes, Cannock WS11 9TJ) - excellent for servicing and wheel alignment.
