Servicing and repairs to all makes and models. MOT failures. Breakdown and battery assistance. Diagnostics. Friendly service

“Wahid was very helpful with fixing the car, also advising that some of the work which I booked (based on a garage recommendation) was not required due to the components being well within their working limits - this saved some money. When an issue with the battery change over meant the car would not start, Wahid immediately contacted an electrician (also very helpful) who came and resolved the issue in a timely manner. Very pleased with the overall service from Wahid.”
