Report
Got ourselves into a spot if bother travelling through Forbes with a trike and small van. Van badly cracked main backbone beam. Contacted Darren and he immediately helped out, even though he had a ton of higher paid work on. Totally replaced the main beam, end to end, with a professionally fabricated improved one and fitted it perfectly. Great work at a very reasonable price all with a bit of good humour thrown it. Thanks Darren and team Allan & Cheryl
