“Great work, professional and friendly. Informative throughout the whole process on my custom build. Will definitely be using again for future work. Couldn’t rate highly enough.”

“Had some welding done to my "modern classic". Steve, Mike and Justin are knowledgeable and professional. They understood the work I required, the level of communication with photo updates was excellent and the finished product exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and accuracy. I highly recommend them and will be using these specialists again.”

“Great specialist garage. They have a wealth of knowledge of classic cars and spend lots of time and effort lovingly restoring them. Whether a full restoration or a small problem you need fixing, these are the lads to do it for you. The pricing is also really fair. I’ve used a few garages like this one for work on my MGB GT and this has been the best by far. Cheers Steve and Co.”
