    Gears not working - Sorted

    Posted 2 days ago

    We had a dead car. No gears and flat battery. What we thought was going to be a vary expensive and huge job became a very reasonably priced and pleasant experience, thanks to Terry. Knowledgeable, efficient, reassuring, polite, humourous and with impeccable timing. We are very glad we found him.

    Definitely Recommend

    Posted 04 March

    Terry came out when he said he would, diagnosed the fault straight aware and advised what I needed to do next. Really friendly and helpful. Hopefully I won't have to, but if I ever had a problem with my car again, he would be the first I would call on.
