A neighbourhood workshop people don't leave
Luís's workshop is the tiled building with the teal sign on Rua do Forno, in Folgosa. One wide door, cars of every make, and a small team that customers mention by the whole: the staff and the owner himself.
Many of those customers have been coming for more than twenty years. They talk about serious, efficient work, people who are on time, a fair price and service that knows them by name.
“As it has been for more than 20 years: excellent professional and team.”
“As our mechanic, we wouldn't change at all.”
