Hi,

Note the word 'one' in your sentence:

Quote:
Below is a quote that one of the repair shops has/have given me.


As 'one' is singular, the verb will reflect this and should be 'has'.

It'd still be singular. (One ..... has given me.)

Hi Ched,

I think you need to change your second sentence from:

Quote:
Below is a quote one of the repair shops THAT has/have given me.

to:

Below is a quote that one of the repair shops has given me.
