Dan D
I did my work experiance in a garage in hampton called J&P motors and worked there while I did my apprenticeship at Kingston University for three years to earn my qualifications. I then went to work for a garage in fulwell for around four years where a had furthered my experience on a wider range of vehicles and became a MOT tester. I then moved to London and Surrey cars in Kingston upon Thames for a further three years where I was workshop controller/foreman then the final garage I worked at was boxer motor works in ashford. I settled for eight or so years working for AA, I left because I felt the time was right to be my own boss which has always been my goal. I have now been self employed for around 2-3 yrs as a mobile vehicle technician and now have workshop so I can carry out more involved jobs that are more than a roadside repairs. I have very good knowledge of all makes plus have up to date diagnostics, tools and vehicle data. Read more

Poor experience.
Ended up buying my own tools and fixing the issue myself. Mechanic advised that the thread where sensor screws into manifold was stripped. Gave me an option that was poor (weld a boss in)
I bought a 5 quid tool off ebay that fixed the thread and sensor went in fine. Also promised to provide a quote for the welding and another sensor that was required and he never bothered, even after a follow up call.

If you don't know the exact issue and are not confident that it can be fixed within the time quoted for I wouldn't bother.

Very vague. Had to question what the next steps where. Had to chase for a response. Still not had a response. So giving up and going elsewhere.

I was at work when the job was carried out. However following a slight problem with the work, I spoke to Dan (the mechanic) and he explained that he could not finish the job due to my car not going into "service mode" with this I called my car dealership and they said, that only ford could fix it. After a long call to them, I called my wife back who said that Dan had fixed the problem. Great work and thank you Dan.

perfect service, totally comfortable right at your door and when you can and nice and friendly approach, all at a very reasonable price. I would have only appreciated more communication on the parts substituted, whether original or third-party or secondhand, that remained a bit vague and unsaid. Overall a brilliant service.
