I take my Motorhome to Powerdrive every November for its MOT. They do a brilliant job and swiftly completes it. It's not just for the MOT I visit. Also, the service and a couple of years ago they reconditioned my fuel pump and the cost was a lot cheaper than other companies. Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable.

They did what I asked them to do. Can't say any more than that. I'll go somewhere else next time if I am looking for a service worth the time I waited for an appointment. Diagnostic and repair was what I asked for... after Diagnostic didn't need Repair I was told that I couldn't get an oil change because I hadn't booked it. Its OK, just a little unfriendly. Nevermind

I would not hesitate to recommend Powerdrive Diesel Fuel Injection Specialists. Their engineer was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in servicing the injectors for two old marine Diesel engines.

Powerdrive provided an excellent service - I cannot fault them. I called on their services when I broke down and was stranded. I spoke to Chris who was very helpful and reassured me that they could sort the issue and he didn't fail to disappoint! I will always use Powerdrive going forwards - an excellent team and service! Keep up the good work lads!
