I would like to say a big thank you to Hi Ho Motors, as I needed a new clutch last Thursday, as mine failed. They fitted me in on Thursday afternoon, and I had the car back Friday morning to travel home, as I wasn't local and was from the Midlands. They went out of their way to help me out, absolutely first class garage, deserve the 5 star review.
