Gear Box and Clutch.
Knowledgeable and experienced gentleman with engines. Knew from initial inspection my engine problem, which was a light sound from engine --no plates banging or bolts rattling. Gave sound advice
from start to finish.
Called me on progress of job.
Ian has worked with engines many years, and importantly has mentally digested every facit of his work
imparting his knowledge along the way.
rare breed in todays diagnostic world.
Cannot thank Ian and his team enough.

carol murray, egremont

Perfect job done on my kia gearbox price 25% of dealer quote for a new gearbox would have been ten out of ten if they gave out loan cars and job took 2 days longer than they said it would

Hi Many thanks for your comment as i explained we are only a small company and our insurance premium for loan cars would be over the top. our last loan car was written off by a young lady who attempted to climb a tree at bassenthwaite with it i am sorry it took 2 days longer to repair but remember you asked us to fit a cam belt while it was in Regards Ian

Hi Many thanks for your comment, with regards to the issue of loan vehicles we are only a small organisation and cannot afford to give vehicles on loan due to the high cost of insurance and please remember there is no such thing as a free car it would added to your bill the last loan car we gave out was a very clean mondeo the young lady was behind the wheel when she shortened it by two feet in an argument with a tree at bassenthwaite Regards Ian

Very expensive. Make sure you get a firm price beforehand if you get stuck with using these guys. Might be just as well going to a main dealership otherwise.

Unfortunatly gearboxes are or can be very expensive to repair many customers could save themselves quite a lot of money if they had the repair carried out at the first sign of trouble instead of waiting for that slight noise to end up as a totally wrecked gearbox also the removal and refitting of some gearboxes can add up to a full days labour due to the removal of all the ancilliary equipment and subframes etc before you even get it on to the repair bench
