    Great service and great price too

    Posted 01 August

    Alarm kept going off on my Mercedes. Simon determined it was my small battery that was dead. Ordered one that came the next day. My main battery was not fully charged so he lent me his to charge it. The new battery arrived and he fitted it in the morning. Simon is a charming cheeky chap and is always a pleasure to deal with. We had agreed a price the previous day which I was happy with. I was even more happy when he gave me forty pounds back ! Great mechanic as well as being a lovely man

    Very impressed. Contacted Simon at 6-30 last night, he came this morning. Quickly diagnosed the problem and now my daughter’s car is back on the road. 100% recommend.

    Simon is a lovely chap, knowledgable, reasonable and efficient. Fixed what could have been a nightmare issue for me with ease. Would use again and recommend, much better service than you’ll get at any main dealer!
