I called Iain as my car wouldn’t start. He arrived on time the next day as promised, changed the battery and his charges were very reasonable especially considering he came to me. Reliable, friendly and just a really nice guy, I would 100% recommend Iain and will most definitely use him in future. Thanks Iain!

Iain was able to do a last minute battery replacement for me. Very pleased with the outcome and excellent customer service. Thank you very much Iain :)

Richard JonesGoogle review

Contacted Iain as my car would not start. He came out the next day as promised and quickly identified the problem and fixed it. The charge for parts and labour was very reasonable and he kept us informed throughout. Great local friendly mechanic.

Samantha JonesGoogle review

Can't recommend Iain highly enough. Needed coils springs replaced urgently for an MOT retest. Iain fitted me in quickly, picked the car up and it was back in just over an hour, all done and at a great price. We will definitely be using him again.
