Dropped my custom bike in for some completely bespoke exhaust pipework. One of those jobs that evolves as it progresses... Excellent communication, photos as the jobs progressed and lots of input from Dan too meant I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much

Took my bike into Dan for a repair to the exhaust hanger and damage to the pipe system, place's were either to busy or didn't want to take the job on. It needed a creative fabricator who could see beyond the waste skip to make it good. He had it fettled in a couple of hours. The plus side was he could accommodate me on a Saturday morning and his rates are good

Amazing service from a local company! I enquired about having 2 exhaust tips lengthened by welding on a reducer section to fit my exhaust (to undo my mistake!) ACE replied almost straight away via Facebook with helpful advice and a price. 2 days later the job was done! Amazing quality welding at an affordable price and a rally nice guy to talk to. And they look great on the car.... 100% would recommend.

Took a car to Dan today with a broken locking wheel nut that meant the wheel was stuck fast. Other engineers I tried didn't want to touch it. No problem for Dan though. Got the nut off with no damage to the wheel at all. Fantastic job. Thanks Dan.
