The nature of this particular job, replacement of still-functioning parts on the basis of age and mileage alone, is that I have to take the work on trust; but I don't anticipate any problems.
He was both cheaper and more convenient than Halfords; and he charged less than half the quote from the main dealer (who are an hour's drive away).
In principle I will be very happy to book with him again for future work.”
