What our customers think
“A huge thanks again to Jim and team for a first class customer experience! From the lorry plating reminder through pre-test checks (I do like a photo or two from under my lorry ) to plating test (passed, no advisories!) then servicing and lastly for working their way through my wish list (to fix things we’ve broken or lost through the year!) Highest recommendation possible - professional, thorough, time-efficient and friendly service.”— Fiona Beattie
“Absolutely 5 star service, start to finish. I sent Jim some photos and video of the project, we talked on the phone so I could get some idea of how we would approach it. The finished result is excellent. Real attention to detail, safety restored and finished appearance superb. Jim kept me informed as we went along with pictures of progress and consulted before changing plans to get my agreement.”— Max Easey
