My Fiat Doblo Cargo 1.9 JTD SX (2003) needed new glow plugs after 100k+ miles.
I had been told that it was a difficult job.
Correy at Apex Tuning was the brave man who took on the challenge.
I now have my vehicle back and Correy has done a great job.
My recommendation is this …
If you too are not technical and have some work that needs to be done, you could go a long way before finding someone better than Correy.
And another thing …
If you are down and glum, just phone him up anyway because he is one of those chaps that brightens your day, seeing no problems only challenges to be overcome!
Thank you Correy!
Thank you ClickMechanic!
Between you, you make the task of car maintenance easier for those of us who know nowt!
Go Correy!!!
C - Can you do this job for me please Correy?
O - Of course I can!
R - Right away ...
R - Right on budget ...
E - Everything included ...
Y - Yes I can!”
