Mark was nice and friendly and knew what the problem was and although he couldn't fix it he did recommend a few places to try, and alternatives for us. We were happy with the outcome as it was pretty much what we expected. Thank you.

Mark arrived when promised and communication was great. He was able to diagnose the problem and gave me advice on what I needed to get this resolved at a garage, as well as giving me a heads up about the probable lifespan of my clutch (very helpful to know!). I booked the diagnostic as it was half the price of my usual Suzuki garage (who wanted £150 for an hour) and I was worried about driving the car so needed someone to come to me. Very happy with the service and Mark was friendly and knowledgeable.
