“I had the two front shock absorbers replaced on my Van.
Shamshad was very knowledgable and checked the vehicle over throughly and showed me some other parts that will need repairing in the future but was outside what I had requested. He also took the time to take some photos so I had a clear picture of what it was that was worn.

He arrived punctually and carried out the work in a timely manner and to a high standard. Great job thanks. Will book you again for my other car.”
