About Me

Vehicles have always been a passion of mine and I find myself spending the majority of my free time either underneath an engine bay, inside a wheel arch or on stand at a show! Below I’ve showcased some of the work, including pictures (providing I remembered to take them at the time!).

Admittedly there are quite a few jobs that I didn’t take photos of which I will try to list below:

  • Wheel bearing replacement
  • Turbocharger diagnostics
  • Caliper resprays
  • Tow bar installation
  • Drop link replacement
  • Bodywork repairs
  • Seized caliper replacement
  • Suspension upgrades
  • Exhaust removal & installation (aftermarket)
  • Electrical work
  • De-chroming
  • Grill replacement
  • General servicing
  • Door lock diagnostic & replacement (Handle carrier, Bowden cable & actuator unit)
  • Plus much more
This is by no means an exhaustive list of my experience but I hope it demonstrates my love for the industry as well as my passion & drive to learn as much as I can!
