Recommendations – TeAuto in Competa

We were struggling to find reviews for a good bodyshop in the area, and then were recommended to try TejAuto in Competa. We had always taken our car to Velez-Malaga for servicing etc, but wanted somewhere more local as we would be without it a few days. Well, I just picked up my car after a partial respray and I am THRILLED with the result. Tricky colour to match but they have done it perfectly. As good as new. Highly recommended.
Price was exactly as quoted, very friendly staff, Oh and they speak English too.
Hope this is useful for others. They are on the left as one enters Competa.

Restaurants and hotels have Tripadvisor, but there doesn’t seem to be anything like this for reviewing garages.

The TejAuto bodyshop is excellent. We will be using them for servicing, tyres etc from now on, so will post again with our findings.   Rob B

 

 

Recommendation –  Taller Oliver, Torrox Costa

Two days ago my wife suffered a punctured tire whilst driving in the campo above Torrox. As the ground was too unstable to remove the wheel with a standard jack, we contacted Taller Oliver.

Within 30 minutes Oliver had the job done.

When asked about payment, Oliver replied

“Its just nice to be able to help people, If you can, please give me a review on Digame”.

So here it is. Taller Oliver can be found on the Torrox Costa road

just past Aldi – 646235494.

Thank you so much for your help Oliver.

My car related business will be with you from now on.

Recommendation Needed – Builders Merchant

I am moving to a Cortijo just down the hill from Canillas de Aceituno.

As I’m new to the area, I specifically need to find a builders merchant, to help get some concrete, ready mixed preferably to improve a track, bricks, fence posts, other timber, chicken wire, etc,

I would like to ask the readers for help or recommendations please

Thanks in advance  Stu

Recommendation – Services

l would like to recommend Oscar Pinazo for all  sorts of reasons.  He is reliable, arrives on time. speaks English, explains the problem with an appliance and then, looks very methodically for a solution that is most economic.
We have used him a few times now and will continue to do so with confidence.

Margy

 

 

Recommendation – Pellets

I recommend Tehisu in Velez Malaga for Pellet and Wood burners.  They were so helpful when they supplied our Pellet stove that I made a film voluntarily to help them and potential customers.  The film does not show their new displays and models but you can get the idea.

Recommendation Needed – Oriental Supermarket

A couple of posts back someone suggested a Chinese supermarket for getting certain produce.
Does anyone know of such a supermarket in the Axarquia or even Malaga?
Thank you

Recommendation-  Buddha House

budha David – Geraldine – Stephen

Genuinely authentic and wonderful food!
The recently opened ‘Buddha House’ restaurant serves delishous Tibetan
and Indian food. It was such a pleasure to sample the excellent fare
for a second time last night, that I have to spread the word.
‘Buddha House’ is situated in the same place a ‘Route 66’ the Harley
Davidson motorcycle shop on the main road just outside Torox Costa on
the way to Nerja.
The Owners and staff are all from Tibet and have a lifetime of
experience of running restautants, one of the family has another
restaurant in Barcelona.
The service is excellent, they are charming people, and the food is gorgeous.
David

What’s on  Capistrano Film Forum

Readers and subscribers to DigameXtra are all guests and are welcome.
All films are shown in their original languages and are shown on a large screen
in the Capistrano Social Salon in El Capistrano Village, Nerja, starting promptly at 6 PM.
Complimentary wines (or alternate beverages on request) and “nibbles” are served.
The next film is:
Friday, February 5th           Human Resources (1999)
(France – 100 min.)    Drama, written and directed by Laurence Cantet

The 35-hour work week has all of France in its thrall. We see its effect on economic and familial politics. Frank (Jalil Lespert), a business school graduate, returns to his provincial hometown to take a management position in the factory where his father (Jean-Claude Vallod has been working for 30 years. First Frank makes the mistake of actually asking the workers on the assembly line for their opinions. Then upper management manipulates his findings to lay off employees. This creates a huge rift, not only between labor and management, but between father and son. A human morality tale that evokes paternal and filial love, and illustrates the personal risk behind political ideas.
With: Chantal Barré, Véronique de Pandelaère, Michel Begnez. In French with English subtitles.
For further information on the Capistrano Film Forum, please email Marty vmmargulies at cs dot com
