John B
Hometune was originally established in 1968 as the first mobile car engine tuning company in the UK. Originally a franchise with over 150 vans nationwide, we have been owned and run by such companies as Mazda UK and Kwik-Fit.

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 most repairs, so whatever the issue I can get you back on the road. Read more

John was a nice man but I was expecting a definitive explanation as to the fault with my van. I had the fault memory checked and that was about it. I was advised further investigation was needed but that was not offered by John. The description on the website states diagnosis to find the fault but this hasn't happened. Not really Johns fault in my opinion but more the wording on the website.

John clearly knows his stuff, and was happy to discuss all aspects of the job and agree steps as we went along. He worked really hard for us and I can't fault him in any way. Our job turned out to be bigger than we initially thought, and there was a problem with initial diagnosis of the problem by us, leading to purchase of non-refundable part from dealer, which then turned out to be wrong, however this was our mistake. If you are not 100% certain about cause of problem, I would recommend diagnostic visit first.
