Been down this road a few times. ALWAYS difficult to get through. I would hate to have to live on that road.
Why would you buy a house next to a garage that has been there for 70Years?
Houses were there before de garage, Cardoza
No they were not. The garage has been there since 1946
There appears to be more cars in the road then we had in Bermuda in 1946
That has to be the stupidest comment I’ve ever read!!! It is a residential area…and yes there were houses there when the garage first opened.
It is sad to even have a car garage in a residential area.There is one in Lime House Lane Baileys Bay which give the neighbors grief.I have been there a few times last year and what a mess.Planning
dept. please get to work those neighbors own their nice homes but the garage is devalueing their properties.
How would you know you were not even born!

Well you don’t live on that road so DONT worry about it!!
They moved the dump?
Ya to your brain
A Cardoza employee that can type
Fix your own car.
Worst Garage in Bermuda in my opinion
Cardozas has been voted Best of Bermuda 12 times and just as recently as 2013. So much for you opinion!
yellow line means no parking, there’s a slight incline also so one will not be able to see if anything is coming.
Headless horseman?is he sitting on his brain?
look up what the headless Horseman is…he’ll come for you one day same as everyone else gets a visit from him sooner or later.
You wish ,starting in the next few weeks you are going to have some interesting dreams .
People are making a joke of this.Just suppose you lived there and your house was on fire,the fire truck wasnt able to make it through. Guess its not funny when you think of it this way.
Who told you to buy a house next to a garage?
People live next to the dump and their yards are not full of trash
Then go live next to the dump
Let me tell you something the fire truck comes through occasionally and it fits perfectly fine! It has come to houses up here many times and our neighborhood is not that big to were they couldn’t take the other road if they felt the need to< HUGE trucks fit through that road with cars parked there, FOR YEARS…. now all i have to say is that if you do NOT live on this road then don't voice your words because you have no evidence or long turn proof to even prove your opinions. So STOP! the garage has been here since 1946 and as long as my family has lived here the garage has not been a problem.. It's the new people that have moved around here that have a problem.. but that is funny you moved next to a garage but you want to complain when they do there work? If anyone else has a problem and you dont live around this neighborhood your opinion has no grounds and it does not matter. Your all a bunch of rude people with so much hatred! GROW UP!!
@ balance, I am truly not understanding your logic. So do you think it’s right for an operator of a garage to park cars on an road 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and totally disregard whomever lives in the area simply because as you say why purchase a home next to a garage. Hmmmmm I cannot help but wonder if you are Mr. Sousa himself or a close friend because that simply makes no sense whatsoever. Let’s look at this for what it is assuming that you are not Mr. Sousa and more than likely your the friend. Well I must point out that you are not a true friend.
Do you think it’s right for some one to move in to an area knowing full well the garage is there and has been there since 1946 ?
I MUST SAY @BALANCE YOU REALLY ARE NOT PUTTIN UP A GOOD PERSPECTIVE FOR WHY THE GARAGE IS WITHIN ITS RIGHT. I FEEL THEY NEED TO KEEP THEIR TRASH OR WORK WITHIN THEIR PAID FOR SPACE…NEIGHBORS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE ALLEGED ISSUES THIS COMPANY IS BRINGING TO THEIR AREA…YOU REALLY APPEAR TO BE ONESIDED AND CANTANKEROUS..I WOULD THINK U SOUSA ALSO, OR A FRIEND..
Their area?the garage was there first.
N he STILL DONT OWN THE ROAD..
Actually the road was taken in 1963 by an order in council. Govt never gazetted the take over. And never paid any one for it. So. It was taken. Never told any body and never paid for it. So since there is no head deed and govt cannot produce one. Cardoza’s claims absolute possession for the land which borders it property. So yes Cardoza’s does own the road. That is what the court case is about. Who owns the road!
Let me tell all of you something…the garage has been there since 1946 probably been around longer then your parents have been alive…everyone is out here worrying about the garage and how cars shouldn’t be parked on one side of the road…your acting like the road is completely blocked and no big trucks or any vehicle can get through… this is NOT the case! Any emergency personnel can get through even a trash truck so i don’t want to hear it! Everyone is worrying about the garage, what about the violence in Bermuda, the gangs and all the corrupt people we have around and people are seriously worrying about a garage.. leave the guy alone! his trying to make a living just like everyone else, put yourself in his shoes! and all of you stop being inmature adults!
Wow, it really sounds like Cardoza’s is a classy place. NOT.
I’m so glad my garage doesn’t have that attitude.
If cardozas isn’t your garage then why are you putting your 2 cents in?
Simply have the police come ticket the car(s) that are on the roadside. When the owners of said car(s) come and find out that their cars have tickets that THEY THEMSELVES have to pay because the shop is surely not going to, see if that changes @balance mind when there’s less customers coming it.
