Testimonials
Russell arrived on time and changed my clutch and cam belt. He also discovered the alternator belt needed replacing. All Done in about 5 hours. Was very impressed at the speed and cost of the work carried out. Think all the other reviews sum up his professionalism. I wont hesitate to call him again should the car need any more work. Hope you weren’t in too much pain that night Russell! And Thank you.

Russell did a fantastic job serving my car, he was friendly, clearly very knowledgeable and didn’t mind me sticking my nose in the engine bay and asking loads of silly questions. I would recommend him to anyone with a MG, if you want an honest, reliable and fair priced mechanic Russell is your man!Many thanks Russell, I’m sorry I couldn’t offer you a cup of coffee and I hope you get to enjoy that holiday!

Russell is friendly, trustworthy and reliable and I would definitely recommend his services to anyone with an MGF. My normal mechanic said my clutch had gone and it would cost me £800 for him to replace it. Then I found Russell's site and he was half the price. When the day came for him to do the job I was totally gobsmacked when I was told all I actually needed was a new slave seal kit. Russell did a great job and charged me £50. I am sorry I have not submitted this review earlier. If I had gone on the previous mechanic's advice I would probably have had to scrap my car. Russell is a gem.

Russell arrived as promised at 08.00 this morning and got straight on with the job in hand - a head gasket change following my discovery of some rather murky looking oil/water and loads of mayo in the cam shaft cover. After a bit of banter, and a great sense of humour, decided the cam belts should also be changed.
Russell worked him magic and was done in 4 hours. His attention to detail and professionalism were immediately apparent. No fuss, no mess and great value for money. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who needs K series engine surgery. Thanks Russell great job done.
