    Totally brilliant

    Posted 6 days ago

    Terry was absolutely brilliant. I'm not allowed to drive for medical reasons at the moment so I couldn't get my car MOT'd. Terry collected it, gave it a service, took it for its MOT and brought it back. He was very reasonably priced and he went through the invoice in detail with me so I could see exactly what the costs were. He's a real find, the kind of old school tradesman you really have to search for these days. I recommend him extremely highly.

    Car door handle repair

    Posted 06 August

    My daughter’s Fiat 500 needed a hinge repair on her door handle. The communication was great as soon as I made contact explaining what needed doing. A date was arranged very quickly for the job to be fitted in at my home. I doubled checked a couple of days before the date to check all was good and to confirm a time which again was quickly arranged. Great polite, friendly service handle was fitted with the replacement part within a hour. A professional receipt was also provided as well as the old part given back to us. Excellent service and I would highly recommend.

    The BEST mechanic

    Posted 16 July

    Terry was a top bloke. He was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. I left a voicemail and he called back within 5 mins. Said he would arrive in 30 mins and did so. Our interaction was brief but he still came across as personable and approachable. Would highly recommend.
