A Cape Town Panel Beater Who Understands Service – Well Priced And Clean
18 Apr 2012 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’m sure there is a valid reason why Cape Town Panel Beaters used to only be found a minimum of 20km from where I live. It always used to be Diep River, or Paarden Eiland or Epping or Maitland. Why were they never closer to me? Not that it matters – because times have changed […]
