“Matthew did a great job of replacing the wheel bearing on my old mondeo. He took the car back to his workshop and brought it back a short time later all fixed. He sent photos of the new and old parts after he completed the work. He also pointed out areas of possible concern and looked up some parts and the exact paint colour required online for my cracked bumper.
Matthew even found my ford radio code to get my radio working without the need to go to Ford and didn't charge me for it. A helpful, efficient mechanic- highly recommended.”
