I have been using him since 2011 first time I met was really impressed he solved the battery starting issue within minutes he knew what he was doing. I had my car few different garage before I saw Dean and they couldnt find the issue. Since then Ive been using him for all my work he is a honest worker and its really hard to find someone like Dean. I must admit he is really busy and a bit hard to get hold of but other then that work is fantastic. I do go to him very often as I am a taxi driver.

Great, very busy team @ DWM - extremely knowledgeable and friendly service (Dean takes time out to chat about the issues - rather than just dropping the keys off), and at a fantastic price. I don't go anywhere else for servicing and wouldn't trust anyone else if anything serious happened requiring more involved work. Seeing him in person is the best method of contact - as he's maxed out.

Literally impossible to get in touch with over the last month. Phoned about 30 times, left voicemail and emailed trying to book my car in for brake change.
Had thermostats replaced here a while ago and the service was great... but sadly I'm going to have to go elsewhere
