Nissan Qashqai · Full Service
Michael was on time and work carried out was excellent as usual. All work carried out perfectly.
Audi S3 · Engine oil & filter replacement
Very happy with Michael, arrived on time, confirmed the work required and completed the job in hand, couldn't ask for anything more, very happy with the experience!
Volkswagen Transporter · Bleed hydraulic clutch release system
Micheal was great, couldnt have asked for any more that what he did! Talked me through what the issue was and was done super quick
Citroen C3 · Diagnostic Inspection
Michael arrived within the timeslot he had promised. He was friendly and personable. He spent nearly an hour on the car checking it out with a portable diagnostic computer and checking under the bonnet and under the car.
He was not able to fix the car on that visit as it requires a new steering rack. But he mailed me a read-out of the diagnostics and checked with contacts for a price for further works. I thought it was good value for a call-out.
Toyota Hi-Ace · Water pump replacement
Very happy with the work carried out.
Knowledge and friendliness is a great combination.
BMW 3 Series · Car Won't Start Inspection
Michael was very friendly, flexible and got the job done! Very happy customer.

Michael was fantastic. Communicative throughout the diagnosis and recommended clear next steps. Would recommended to anyone in need of a mechanic in the area and wouldn't hesitate to use him again in future.
Ford Transit · Diesel particulate filter (DPF) chemical clean and regeneration
Michael was very thorough in diagnosing the problem and explained what he was doing.
I was very pleased with the standard of work.
