Positive:Quality
Started using Mikes for all my repairs and servicing several years ago when I moved to Dorchester and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else now. His prices are always fair, usually less than I was expecting, and his work is first class. Mike is an excellent mechanic, always helpful and friendly. I would recommend Mikes to anyone.

Thank you Mike. I was leaving for our holiday on Saturday my car broke down on Thursday afternoon, took it to Mikes and he fitted me in straight away. He replaced the power steering pipes and then found the front brake was binding so he replaced the brake calliper too. Its now Saturday and we are on our holiday in North Wales. Thank you Mike.

Such a helpful mechanic, he explained what was wrong and gave me some maintenance lessons while I was there which was great. Also really good value.

I was recommended to Mike by a work colleague, who stated; he's a highly skilled and qualified motor mechanic, who won't rip you off... This was an under statement...🧡 Mike has pulled out all the stops, to fix my car on numerous occasions. Stayed late, waiting for me to collect my car and more recently fixed it yet again amongst the agonising times of COVID-19. Mike, you're reliable, honest, hardworking and THANK YOU, so much...🚘 Regards Lorraine. (Healthcare Practitioner).
