No experience of anyone that side but I drive from Karsyaka to Ozankoy to use Edener garage as they are the best I've found in 13 years here.. no rip off and really good knowledge and workers.

I have used Erdener’s for 10 years found them very good and trustworthy. The old man rebuilt my engine so big repairs and small never had a problem

I use mechanics in Gecitkale, top lads, local prices. Can you drive the car? If not I can ask if they will come out to you.

Thank you Soner Getiitkale is probably more convenient. I can drive a short distance as it is the cooling fan which is the problem. Would it be possible to ask if they are able to get a new fan motor for a 2017 Nissan Qasquai 1600 Diesel. I could probably make it there but maybe not back again.

OK, spoke to mechanic. He said that he would have to look at the car, as it can be a number of things causing prob. Basically, no point in getting the part before checking. You can either drive the car to the garage and he will drop you home, or he can come and collect the car, fix and return it to you. If you do not talk Turkish, then I can meet at garage to help translate anything.

Hi, Thursday 9am will be fine. When you get to the mountain (left to Tatlisu) you turn right to Gecitkale. Keep going over the mountain, passing several villages, then you will come to a big roundabout (left to Iskele). The station is just before the roundabout. You can't miss it.
Sorry, I may have confused you. I can also do tomorrow 9am if it suits you. (anytime tomorrow between 8:30 and 11am)

Big thank you to Soner for his reccomendation for AK garage in Gecitkale and his help in translation. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. I got my car back the next day all done. The Nissan main dealer was going to have me wait two weeks for them to get the new part from Turkey.
