    What Our Customers Say

    I can't recommend Nigel highly enough! Outstanding 5-star job! Lovely man with excellent time-keeping and communication skills, nothing was too much trouble for him.

    Price was outstanding for the work he put in to fix my car.

    Thank you again Nigel.

    Julie Donald

    If I could give Nigel a 10-star review out of 5 I would! Man is a star himself. I trust very few people working on my car as my son is in it regularly and I cannot give more faith in a mechanic than that.

    Nigel is friendly, has a good work ethic, and doesn't charge you an arm and a leg, and his work is of the highest standards!

    Blane Smith

    Absolutely brilliant, quick and easy, came out within the hour, found and bought the parts and replaced them all within the day for a great price.

    Extremely professional work from Nigel. Highly recommend.

    Alasdair Mathieson

    I can't praise Nigel enough! He came to my house, fixed the problem for a great price and off he went. Highly recommended!
