“Akhtar did a great job. He arrived punctually and replaced our starter motor as requested. Unfortunately the car broke down a couple of weeks later and the recovery driver said it was a faulty starter motor. I contacted Akhtar through the resolution centre last night (Saturday night) and he got back to me very quickly. He arranged to come and look at the car. He managed to locate the problem and resolve it (wasn't the starter motor). Akhtar certainly knows what he is doing and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. He is friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to come out to us on a Sunday in order to get us back on the road.”
