My apprenticeship started in 1996 for 4 years and I worked there for a further 2 years. I left to work for a multi franchise main dealer where I gained lots of knowledge & experience. I then moved to a large...

“Can’t speak highly enough about Rob, his knowledge and professionalism. Rob called to let me know on his way, arrived and got straight down to understanding the issues I thought needed fixing. Rob ran further tests and checks to confirm what was needed and with his experience with Nissan cars realised he had a better fix for the glow plug issue I had raised. Once fixed that got on with main problem. Rob explained why the issues may have arisen and gave me a number of tips to stop/lessen the chance of repeat issues. Once the fix was complete Rob noticed my air bag light on so fixed that before taking the car for a test drive. As Rob found a better fix for one of the issues the job was cheaper than originally quoted, so not only fixed the vehicle, provided some great advice to keep things running efficiently he saved me money on the job. Robs approach and his general manner gave me confidence in him and that the job was being done professionally. Would highly recommend Rob great mechanic and top man.”

How long will a glow plugs replacement take in Swansea?

The time that the job takes will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors.

Is a faulty glow plug an MOT failure?
