After the engine blew on my 1 Series, I had already received a quote of over £3000 to fit a new one so decided that I should get a second opinion. I was immediately reassured by Jim's honesty and understanding of the problem. Jim sourced an engine for me which was a good price, offered advice to me throughout the purchase of the engine, ensuring that we bought all of the correct parts etc. The whole job was completed extremely efficiently and I was back on the road plus made a great saving on the job compared to the other quotes which I got. Absolutely first class mechanic, he now does all my servicing as well!

Very pleased with standard of work which was carried out quickly and efficiently to minimise the time that I was without my car. Staff very helpful, polite and reliable. Total cost of work was less than I expected. Invoice was clear and concise with no hidden extras. . Would certainly use Akar again and wouldn't hesitate to thoroughly recommend them to anyone else needing car recovery, repairs and servicing, particularly at short notice as I did!
