John was brilliant, punctual and straightforward. Car serviced at home, quite convenient.
I especially liked that he made no unnecessary extra charges, keeping the cost very reasonable.

John picked up the job over a Bank Holiday and it was one of those awkward jobs if you had to get it to a garage. The part (alternator belt) replaced and all done and dusted as quick as. No messing about getting it up to a service centre and back again .

Did the job for me as required. Great feedback on the phone. Very helpful. Despite a 'difficult' dealership owner where the motorhome was inspected, he delivered on time and reported back immediately. If I have one criticism it's that when the dealership owner asked John what issues he had found with the vehicle John told what the main issues were. The result was that I got a pretty bizarre and upsetting phone call from the dealer owner just after I'd read John' email report. He went on a rant to me about the problems John had told him about, saying none of the faults were of any significance and his vehicle was in good shape etc etc. I know it must have been awkward for John being on someone else property with an difficult dealer hovering around but I might have been spared the telephone 'rant' call from the dealer if he'd not been forewarned of some of the findings before I was. Something to bear in mind in future. Read more
The franchise was ceased in 2003 and since then many technicians have continued independently, such as myself, who has owned and run this business since 1991. In that time I have completed in excess of 10000 jobs on virtually every make and model of car and light van. In 2010 I worked with the AA for a year whilst also doing my own repairs with Hometune on the side in my spare time and kept the business going so it never ceased. In 2011 I came back to Hometune full-time and accelerated the business. I work on all makes/models of cars & will tackle all repairs, so whatever the issue I can get you back on the road. Read more
