“Needed an MOT as it had expired, he managed to fit me in and sort out an electrical issue at the same time.”

Customer feedback
“PLA, you are a wizard!”
“I rarely write reviews or recommend a company but I must make an exception in this case. I have had a problem for months now with a drain on my battery meaning that my car was dead every morning and wouldn't start without a jump, to the degree that I had to go and buy a heavy duty jump starter to get it going every morning. I tried everywhere to get it fixed to no avail and everyone recommended that I take my Range Rover to a dealership. The dealership advised that it could take all day to resolve at a cost of £100 per hour and possibly another £2000 if it turned out to be a faulty motherboard on the computer!! I called Phil this morning and he booked my car in for 2pm today. He discovered my glove compartment light was the source of the battery drain and solved the problem, all in under and hour and almost half the price of an hour's work at the land rover dealership. Phil is a lovely, caring trustworthy man and I would not go anywhere else in future for electrical work on my car. Thank you so much for your wonderful customer service.”
“These guys are excellent, will definitely use again. Their knowledge and work ethic are second to none. Car was diagnosed and fixed within a hour and a half. Thank you”
