John was very polite and friendly. He took the time to explain everything he was doing and he was clearly trying to save me money where possible, without compromising on the quality of the work required. In the end he wasn't able to complete the original task as I needed an additional part, but he talked me through what I neeeed and why and what steps to take, which was very helpful.

John was very friendly and helpful but I was disappointed that having accepted the job with full car and fault details supplied - the replacement of a front coil spring on a Rover 75 - when he arrived on site, having picked up a replacement coil spring, he was unable to carry out the job because his compressor was not strong enough compress the coil spring! As an experienced mechanic I would have expected him to know this before accepting the job. He was helpful in that he secured the spring and put on my space saver tyre so that I could drive to a garage to have the work done by someone else and has charged me £40 for doing so but at the end of the day he should not have accepted the job if he did not have the necessary equipment.

John was fantastic. I am happy with the job what he did.
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
