Simon was lovely, friendly and on time, even though the issue puzzled him he done his best to try and find the problem. He even came back once the battery was drained to check if it was the battery or an electric fault. Would recommend Simon and would book him again.

Simon attended for the second time in as many weeks to repair a broken front coil spring, an issue he picked up on his previous visit. The work did not go smoothly but with no fault to Simon who went out of his way to make sure the job was completed. Really great work and would definitely use Simon again.

Simon was very pleasant but he didn't carry out any work. He took my car for a run and advised I probably needed a new thermostat. I was surprised and a little disappointed that he was not carrying one, as I had originally said the problem was no heat coming through. He came and left within 30 minutes.
Reply from Simon:
I don’t normally carry specific parts for a vehicle unless I’ve been booked to carry out a job, as the booked apointment was for a diagnostics into the cause I didn’t bring any parts. I’m sorry if there was any confusion / you thought I would bring parts. I normally only carry bulbs, nuts and bolts and general parts that may be used on any vehicle.

I then moved on into restoration of classic cars and ran a local village mot station alongside side doing servicing, mot repairs and general mechanical and diagnostic work on classic and modern vehicles.
From 2013 onwards I have worked mainly doing fleet contracts, repairing a fleet of vehicles for a large company covering all aspects of keeping the vehicles going and getting them back on the road, along side this I have looked after a private collection of classic and modern high end vehicles for a client for the past 11 years.
