Think their going to become my new local garage lol, seem quite genuine the few times I have been there, and your approval is reassuring.

You get what you pay for. I've used Mike for years and always been happy with the service. I'd rather pay him a few more quid and be assured of an honest job than be ripped off by some back street garage I don't know (been there, done that).

he also gives you an honest opinion - no bullshit.

Last month I had some work done by Chris Gilly's garage, I asked for the 2 front springs to be changed, job was done, week later one of the front shocks started to leak so I thought I'd do the work myself having served my time in garages many years ago, so last week I stripped the front end down and to my horror only 1 spring had been changed and the shock that was leaking had mole grip teeth makes in it which in my mind lead to it leaking in the first place, anyway I rang Chris explained to what I found and I wasn't a happy chappy, I agreed to meet him at his garage and a refund was sorted out, Chris seems an honest nice guy but would I take my car there again the answer is no, would I recommend someone to his garage again no.

This is just an account of my experience in using his garage.

Chris has done work on my car twice - new alternator and tracking and he did the jobs impeccably. He would have done my clutch but he was a bit snowed under with work and I had a tight window to work to.

I'd certainly go to him again, and so would the O/H.

In the end I got my clutch replaced at Wirral Car and Clutch on Birkenhead Road, near East Float. They were about £20 dearer than Chris and the big clutch place over the water but did it on the day I needed and lent me a car as well.
