Derek is great. His attention to detail and car and concern that he puts into his work is rare, unusual and much appreciated. My car is old and much loved and he repaired the damage with the same care and attention that I would have shown. I cannot recommend Derek highly enough.

I had a scratch in my bonnet courtesy of a mindless vandal. Got a very reasonable quote from Derek and booked the car in. Derek repaired and resprayed the bonnet. Perfect colour match, quick turnaround for a very reasonable price. A very friendly, genuine bloke too. Highly recommend

First class service, would highly recommend.
Superb job done and the icing on the cake was the honesty by owner Derek as I over paid and was called back immediately and given money back. Thank you again.
