Jan 04,2024Absolutely fantastic service from this company. I emailed them on 31st December 2023 and had an email confirming the price for both keys to be fixed and I was very happy with the price. I sat and waited about an hour to have both keys fixed. Exactly what I wanted and he used genuine Volvo parts. Very reasonable professional service. Highly recommended

Dec 04,2023Danny completed a difficult repair (Rodent Damage to the wiring loom in a place thats not easy to locate or repair), he didn't give up and through his expertise found and repaired the issue. A brilliant engineer.

Nov 23,2023The Automotive Expert carried out replacement of two keys for Kia car. It was easy to book and price for two keys was great, half what someone had quoted me for one. I would certainly have no problem recommending this company a great service and price.

Sep 11,2023I have an Audi q7 and was having intermittent starting problems. I saw 2 mechanics before Daniele, and neither could tell me what was wrong. I was sent away both times with a faulty car. Daniele was upfront and honest and said he couldn’t guarantee finding the issue but would 100% try. Well he did! And he fixed it for an extremely reasonable cost! (I was actually quite surprised how reasonable!!!) I was kept up to date the whole time. And now have a working car (fingers crossed it stays this way!) Thank you Daniele.

Feb 13,2024Top top guy. Highly recommend! I came to Dan really stressed with an ignition/car starting problem. Had taken to some garages who couldn’t tell me what was wrong or guessed. Dan found the problem straight away and had it all replaced and fixed within half an hour. He put me at ease and assured me he would sort it. He did and in super quick time. I contacted him that morning, was booked in for a certain time in the afternoon and was fixed and sorted in no time at all. Very professional and trustworthy. I won’t go anywhere else now.
