Cant thank them enough, they saved our festival weekend at no notice whatsoever after our VW t2 had trouble. Parts sourced very quickly and the work completed very quickly getting us back on the road faster than we could ever have asked for. Great service, thanks John.

John runs a very organised and trustworthy garage and I wouldn't want to take my VW Beetle anywhere else for servicing, MOT and repairs.
