Hi I’m Derek 

LandRover Swivel bearing replacement

Mercury Auto and Marine 

I recently had the pleasure of working with Derek to weld the chassis of my Toyota Land Cruiser, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, Derek demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism that truly set him apart.

As an ex-Navy engineer, Derek brings a level of expertise and attention to detail that is hard to find. He approached the project with a thorough understanding of the materials and techniques required, ensuring that every weld was executed perfectly. The quality of his work is evident- he's put some life back into an old car! Thanks derek!

Repairs to my 2 grandchildren’s cars 

Fitted a new track rod and advised on a few new parts that needed doing. Really appreciated the quick response to my message and coming out

New trackrod!

I have used Derek for the first time to do welding on my car.  Derek very kindly fit me in to make sure it was within 10 days of my MOT.  Derek came to do the work with his father; they're both very pleasant to deal with; they're both very polite, friendly and professional.  Derek is also very knowledgeable and did a couple of extra little jobs too.  Despite the job running over the time Derek predicted, he very kindly did not add much more onto the quote.  Derek is very competitively priced.   Derek is very genuine and honest.  I'll happily use him again and recommend to friends.   Thank you Derek!

Car welding

Derek turned up as arranged and he managed to sort the problem out with my wife's door handle.  He gave me a competitive price for fitting a new handle with genuine parts.

Car repair

Derek is a first class mechanic.  Very glad to have found him, he's expertise on every thing is vast.  A great guy and gives a 100% personal and reliable service at very reasonable cost.  He cares about he's work with a passion you very rarely see these days, carries a out a complete mechanical check when finished so you know that everything is ok.  I would thoroughly reccomend Derek to anyone with any problem, nothing he cannot solve, great guy and very interesting person.  D P.
