Glenn is a top man worth his weight in gold really knows what he's doing. Would recommend this man to anyone with vehicle problems.

I called Glenn regarding an electrical problem with my car, he was able to come to me the same day ( whilst observing current social distancing guidelines ) to diagnose the problem, I also mentioned that the car was also due an MOT and that despite the 6 month extension to current MOTs I would rather get it done. Glenn returned the next day to repair the electrical fault that he had diagnosed and to also give the car a pre MOT check and also take and return it for its test.
Fantastic service at far far cheaper prices than a garage.

Excellent experience. Glenn came out next day and had the required part in the van, so the car was back on the road in 30 minutes. Will absolutely use again!

Could not recommend Glenn enough for todays work he did on our white Vauxhall Insignia. Put a new steering rack on and advise other work needed which a previous dealer had over exaggerated on. Very good value for money, was honest and would definitely go back to with any issues. Thanks Glenn!
