“Had a great experience with this Ahktar! They replaced my EGR valve efficiently, and my car is running smoothly again with no loose parts or odd noises. The service was professional, the work was done cleanly, and there were no unexpected issues. They came to my driveway on a Sunday, so that the car would be available for the MOT that week. They worked in 2 degrees for hours, with no complain, barely stopping and not stoping for smoking (like some do). Fair pricing and great customer service and communication, made the whole process easy and transparent. Highly recommend Ahktar, they are passionate about what they do.”
