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

A difficult job to undertake, involving door locks and handles. John advised using an auto locksmith, which I am in the process of trying. He did indicate that if I was unsuccessful with this he might be able to help.

John was a great guy, friendly, helpful and did not mind explaining anything. He worked flat out, never stopping - just needed to be kept supplied with coffee. He encountered one problem in trying to remove the water pump where there simply was no space to get it out, but he did not give up and his 25 years experience showed through and he was able to find a way to do it.
I was very impressed with his skill and knowledge and would most certainly use him again.
Thanks John.

Although the diagnostic was not completed it certainly was not for the want of trying. John tried various options to no avail. I appreciated his honest and direct approach to the problem and the advice given.
