Funny business names challenge
Its a bit quite in the office here so i have made up a game 
The challenge is to find a funny or ironic name like 'The Frying Scotsman' (fish and chip shop) or 'Spex Appeal' (optitian)
but car related.
It should also help give me idea's for my garage
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

There used to be a second hand clothes shop in Monaiave, Dumfrieshire, called "Second hand Swank", funnily enough the S of
"Swank" used to go missing quite a lot, Don't know if it was the local youts or the proprietor that was up to the editing though.

There used to be an estate agents in my town called Rosewood, they used to just use a large capitol R on the for sale signs. The house that were
'sold' then used to have a big sign outside saying....
R
SOLD
used to make me chuckle.
No idea about garage names, but I'll have a think.
Altough I used to deal with a guy at work called Martin Aston

A gas station (petrol station, for you) in my hometown used to have a sign on the side that said "A great place to get gassed!", but of
course, the "g" was always missing. I think someone with no sense of humour has it now, because the sign was changed.

Mate used to have a motor repair business years ago called 'BHP Engineering', the BHP stood for Big Hammer People.
How about 'You bend 'em, We mend 'em'.
Sad I know, but I am old.
