Mark was extremely helpful and polite, sadly the dealership had sold the car I was going to purchase so Mark was unable to complete the inspection but he gave me some sound advise moving forward

I tried for 6 weeks to diy it.
Mark did it in an hour ish.
He saved me so much money on not buying things I nearly bought in desperation .
I told him so as he checked the componants.
Read his cv.
I bet he's seen the film,read the b ook and got the T shirt.
If anyone ever asks me who to use I will say this service and Mark in this area.
No one locally that I could find wanted to do it,l et alone for this fee.
Mercedes would have skinned me.
I will spread the word.
Will sleep well tonight.
Thank you Mark.
