Worst Motor Mechanic I have ever found. Charged me over $100 to not fix anything. They actually said they couldn't fix my car and that I should go elsewhere.

I can see why this business gets good reviews and has been around for a while. Bought a couple of Narva H7 globes and had a bit of a chat about alternators! Knowledgeable, honest, friendly and genuine - that's a recipe for long-term success! Previously bought from their eBay shop - highly recommend!
