“Ian arrived earlier than expected in an impressive looking van which had been fitted out to accommodate a wide range of tools and equipment necessary to carry out his role as a mobile mechanic. As soon as he began to work, which involved replacing front brake discs, brake pads and a ball joint it was evident he demonstrated knowledge , skills and was very meticulous. Whilst replacing the parts he patiently cleaned and lubricated surfaces and when he encountered a stubborn torx screw securing the disc he dealt with the problem with ease.
He was a tidy careful worker with a pleasant personality who explained exactly what he was doing. Overall I was very impressed and delighted with his workmanship. I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again.”

“Derek was very friendly, collected my car and performed an MOT and service as originally agreed. Derek communicated well the faults found and a posted out on email a document detailing all the work carried out in the service and the faults found during the MOT. On this occasion I decided not to have the faults fixed due to the extent of work that was required to pass its MOT. Derek delivered my car the following day and completed my service history book. I would definitely use Derek again.”
