Peter was excellent, he could not resolve the problem on this occasion but he went to great lengths to explain what was wrong. The cylinder head needed to be removed and this was not an option at this time.

The only issues which I didn’t notice until after they left was that the dropped oil on the paved drive. Also they didn’t know how to reset the computer which they only managed to achieve after searching the internet

What a great idea this is! Today was really hassle-free for me and £100 cheaper than a local garage had quoted me for the same job. The timing was out on my car, due to another garage not doing the job properly, and my water pump was leaking. These guys turned up (father and son) and took just 2 hours to replace the water pump and fit a new timing belt kit. My car sounds so much better now! Quieter and smoother. They were very friendly, and clearly explained to me what the problem had been. And I didn't have to take my car to a garage first thing in the morning only to wait around all day for them to get around to it! I'll certainly use this service again.

Peter and Simon carried out work as expected but problems started quickly. They diagnosed over the phone and confirmed when they arrived back within an hour and sorted the whole thing very efficiently.

I was then offered a job working for Excalibur Engineering restoring Classic Aston Martin vehicles and was lucky enough to work on several rare examples including some that were used in Bond Films.
At the age of 18 I moved to Great Yarmouth where I worked for Specialist in Design building and fabricating racecars for the Dragstrip working under the legendry Jon Hogarth as my mentor.
3 Years in the Territorial army RLC added to the list of skills in both mechanical and electrical engineering
After leaving SID I set-up my own business called RPP Racing at this point based in Lowestoft.
I traded here for a number of years before moving to Ipswich and still traded as RPP Racing and in 2013
I moved to Northamptonshire where I settled and setup again initially mobile only but after a few months of trading Venture Performance was formed mainly specialising in classic and performance in 2017 we Changed the name of the main garage side of the business to A6 Recovery and Salvage allowing us a bigger spectrum and platform to work from and allowing us to oull in more contract and fleet operational work and support, our main areas of work now are Accident Recovery and Salvage, Roadside Repairs and Vehicle Transport Logistical support and we now offer fully mobile and Garage based services from our workshop base at Sharnbrook Bedfordshire. When not busy with our main lines of work our team specialise in Classic vehicle restoration services, Fabrication of Race and custom vehicle builds and General repairs and servicing on both modern and classic vehicles.
The business caters for all makes and models of cars and will tackle all types of repairs.
Peter does specialise in Classic Aston Martin, alongside Classic Japanese, Ford & Aircooled Volkswagen Vehicles but will tackle any job be it a service or a full restoration or full on race vehicle build or repair Read more
