Ive been in the motor trade and working on cars since 12 as my older brothers who are both mechanics encouraged me to pick up the spanners. In my teenage years I undertook my City and Guilds at Guildford College over a 3 year period. Initially I didn't go full time and I was undertaking part time work at weekends but as my understanding and expertise grew I moved full time into the trade 10 years ago initially working at an independent garage and then moving up to being a senior technician at a Subaru specialist. In 2008 I went self employed as a mobile mechanic and have now grown my business to include mobile services as well as owning a workshop.
