Charlie was friendly and knew what my car needed ( even if I wasn't sure ) the work was carried out on my drive and he showed me what was happening step by step. I haven't had a chance to drive the motor around as yet but after about 1½hrs Charlie was pretty confident that the problem was solved.

This was the first time, as a widow, that I have had to find and use a car repair service on my own, so I was understandably apprehensive about whether I had chosen the right company.
From the very beginning, the process was straightforward. Booking through the website was quick and hassle-free.
Charlie provided an excellent service. He was professional, friendly, and highly efficient. He kept me informed of his arrival time and swiftly replaced my brake discs and pads. Once the work was completed, he thoroughly tested the car to ensure everything was working correctly.
I would strongly recommend both the company and Charlie to anyone looking for reliable and professional vehicle repairs.

Yep. My car is now properly fixed. Previous garages couldn't identify the problem properly or they had lack of availability and long waiting times.
