Where do I start I booked in my car for diagnostic I dropped of the car on the day they requested they diagnose the fault being two either a new engine or valve replacement I asked them for price as you would they said 1000 for valves job or 2000 for engine replacement. My car was worth 3K so I told them and they said they will need to strip it down to tell me. So once they stripped it down they phone me to tell me that the car needs new engine I was already out of pocket I go to them on start the job as I need a car as already I m struggling they then said the new engine will cost 4K and thats

Great service from a small team of dedicated and experienced professionals who provide excellent customer service and go the extra mile to book you in and get the job done at the best price possible. I take all 3 of my cars to them and would definitely recommend others to give them a go too.
