What our customers say
“Passed by to get a price for a gearbox service… Was given an excellent quote then told the job could be done immediately… Was called an hour or so later to say job was done!”
Steve N.Ford Focus ST, Powershift · Kent branch · February 2026
“Their quote was not only the cheapest but they were by far, the most professional of the garages we spoke to, including Ford main dealers. The service was excellent from start to finish.”
David P.Ford Ranger, 10-speed · Kent branch · April 2026
“It was suspected that my gearbox needed a complete rebuild… after extensive investigation it was found that the gearbox was working exactly how it should be… You don't find repair shops as honest as this one very often.”
