Now strangers, hope we are all well.
Mate is in Harpenden with a "strange noise" on his steering. I was going to recommend he pop into WIM 15 minutes away but as they are no longer trading...
Anyone know a decent place to get it on a ramp and find the fault? Its a newish hatchback, Ibiza maybe.

Fluid level would be the first port of call unless it is electronic power steering.
Obvious questions include type of noise and circumstances, any roughness when turning. Tyre pressures, brakes functioning. Battery condition if electric ps.
I know of someone who runs an MoT place there abouts, but I wouldn't trust him to change socks, let alone work on a car.

If I tod you that he bought an immaculate second hand Golf GTI then sold it two months later because it needed brake pads, and was therefore clearly unreliable... You'll understand that diagnosing this remotely is like doing brain surgery wearing boxing gloves... :D

In which case...

I've sem5t that to him. He'll probably just drive it until the wheel falls off, mind... Then complain that the AA want a million pounds for a roadside signup.
