Flash repairs


I'm sure they do not mean 'repairs done in a flash'. Perhaps they mean that their repair jobs are 'fancy'. Who knows? But each of these shops is the sign of a dying breed of mechanical repair shop, that doubles as a smash repair shop. Being squeezed into back alleys through sky-high rents, and out of business by the omnipresent computer system that, I gather, is under the bonnet of cars nowadays.

Originally, I had no idea what 'Spies Hecker' was, but now know it to be a well-known brand of paint finishing for automotives.

I led with the Kings Cross repair shop because I like the font.

This is my contribution to the Signs Signs community.
