“Brandon was very knowledgeable and friendly, he arrived a little later than scheduled but i accept delays happen with traffic and previous overrun jobs,

He was very helpful and honest as i thought it was my front brake pads were low (merc warning does not specify front or back) but it was in-fact my back brake pads, this was no problem for Brandon - he even went to the local parts store and picked up the back brake pads for me with no extra charges! Brandon completed works very quickly and to a good standard, reset warning lights and also gave my car a quick once over to make sure all my brake discs were still good.

Will 100% recommend and will use him again in future as he done a great job and i fully respect his honesty and not charging for works that do not need doing (like some workshops would do!- and have done previously)”

“The chap who picked my van up was friendly and bang on time. Only thing I would say is some sort of I.D would possibly be of benefit, if I'd of asked he probably would of had some. Delivered back within the time scale suggested too. All the work seems good and the van runs well, so no complaints here. Much cheaper than my garage I use for my MOT, so value for money.”
