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.

Ian, is absolutely fantastic. He was on time - and supplied excellent updates and carried out the work as specified to top quality. He also is a great guy. What more can I say - but I most highly recommend him.

Ian was brilliant. Highly recommend. He showed up same day, was friendly and incredibly helpful. Very knowledgeable and trust worthy. Couldn’t have asked for more

Reply from Ian:

Heidi, always a pleasure to meet new customers especially those who are, or have served in the armed forces. My apprentice was ex Army too. She did a short spell through basic training but left and I tends to rejoin after this apprenticeship. Lovely to meet you. Hopefully no damage done from the loose nut I found.
