Thanks for the replies guys

It's really helpful, someone is sending me a PM tomorow with a quote

Thanks so much... I have soooo much to learn as a new driver x

Chris has done work for me,on my M3,third of the price Williams L/pool quoted. Quick and reliable.

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.

Yeah well not all people have got £300-£350 to spend on a new clutch eh?

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.

Car has now gone to be fixed

I get it back this afternoon, thankyou for all your help

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.

Just had my car back..

Thankyou to the lovely guys at Manganese Motors who have been really helpful!

No problem, anytime you need anything sorting give us a shout

The car is running really well, can't believe the difference in it! Will be back in a couple of weeks to get the next job on it done

My Mum and Stepdad are having a few problems with their car... they bought theirs from the same showroom I did so I've sent them to you

Glad we could help:)
