“Jack will now be my go to mechanic since I’ve moved to Scotland. He has replaced my turbocharger + the fuel pipes, fitted a new Dpf, Replaced both front spring coils and both top mounts. Then he has fitted and under tray and a full headlight. Yes my car needed some attention! Jack has done it all and the car feels so much much better now. I will say he hasn’t charged me overboard either which I really appreciated. He’s done me & my car proud. I would highly recommend using Jack. Thanks all the best from Clive.”
