Gordon's Autos , Lincolnshire | ClickMechanic

Ian G
Gordons Auto and Electrical services was first created in 1980 by my late Father based in Doncaster. I started Gordons Autos (Southern) in 1990 as a hobby that was growing into a business. It was a part time business along side my military career. A Marine Engineer by day with engineering skills taught through over three years of military trade training and a vehicle mechanic by night with skills picked up from initially watching my Father but gradually taking a hands on approach from the age of 13.

Time has passed by with Gordon's Autos (Southern) collecting customers in Southampton, Cambridge and Camberley during various stages of my Army career.
My Wife and I have settled down to live in the Lincolnshire Wolds. It is from here that Gordon's Autos will create another collection of customers and continue a family tradition of vehicle maintenance at affordable prices for the new and not so new vehicles.

My son having completed his apprenticeship in the garage is now driving HGVs and a second apprentice who completed his training moved to a Volvo main agents. I had tried to retire and put my feet up but, the garage is now full steam ahead again having taken on my 3rd Apprentice. I will be running the garage for at least another 3 years while my new apprentice learns her trade. Yes the female population of vehicle technicians will have another one by the end of 2028.

Mean while I've been back to college over the last 18 months and gained my IMI Level 3 and 4 qualifications in Electric Vehicle repairs, maintenance and diagnostics.

Reply from Ian:

Ian, absolute pleasure to meet you both. What a small world when finding out you too were not only in the army but also a Marine Engineer. Stay safe, stay well, regards Ian Gordon. Thank you for your review.

Gordon was a fantastic mechanic, he kept me informed throughout the whole process and has taken 1 big stress out my life by getting my car MOT amd faults done and back to me in time for me to collect my children definitely would recommend this mechanic, he is one of the few honest good ones left. Definitely be using him again.

Reply from Ian:

Kimberley. Happy to have made the burden of MOT time a straight forward process for you. I do thrive on communication, keeping customers informed every step of the way. I live up to my company strap line, "integrity with a smile"

Gordon was extremely friendly, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Work was done very fast, and even gave me lots of advice for upcoming MOT's and work to be done.

Reply from Ian:

Thomas. Good to meet you. Glad to bring good news about the car. Always daunting doing a first service after a customer has just bought a car, but on this occasion where ever you bought the car from you've got a good car that showed evidence it had been looked after before you bought it.
