John B
Hometune was originally established in 1968 as the first mobile car engine tuning company in the UK. Originally a franchise with over 150 vans nationwide, we have been owned and run by such companies as Mazda UK and Kwik-Fit.

The franchise was ceased in 2003 and since then many technicians have continued independently, such as myself, who has owned and run this business since 1991. In that time I have completed in excess of 10000 jobs on virtually every make and model of car and light van. In 2010 I worked with the AA for a year whilst also doing my own repairs with Hometune on the side in my spare time and kept the business going so it never ceased.
In 2011 I came back to Hometune full-time and accelerated the business. I work on all makes/models of cars & will tackle most repairs, so whatever the issue I can get you back on the road. Read more

John seemed to be knowledgable and experienced. He was on time and the repair was fast. Didnt know the brand of brake discs and pads he used but i didnt expect to use Bosch at that price which was very competitive vs garages.

John was efficient, knowledgeable and completed a great job. I've never used anything like this before, I didnt want to get a taxi to the garage and back with covid, decided to try an at home mechanic and John was brilliant 👏. Definitely use him tome after time with confidence and recommend to others. Just driven the car to Stoke and back and the back brake pads work brilliantly

He explained that the aircon didn't need a regas, just new filters and a thorough clean, and that the filters were £25 each. Although he does still seem to have charged us for the regas.

Reply from John:

Hi
The job was booked as a a/c health check and antibacterial treatment, as I don't have the equipment to do a regas I wouldn't have accepted the job so you need to take this up with Clickmechanic as they may have misunderstood your request.
Regards
John

John was very good. Arrived on time and performed a speedy front brake change. Also advised me to get the tracking checked due to uneven wear.... but was purely advice.... did not push for the job. Excellent.

Reply from John:

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, the reason I didn't push for the tracking job is that I don't have the gear on my van to be able to do it sorry
