Hi,
And, very very unusual for any repair workshop, they have a proper wheelchair accessible toilet that my wife was very pleased to find.

I can only agree with everyone who has commented here, the service given is excellent and the results are dramatic, I  made a 200 plus mile round trip and wouldn't hesitate to do it again... :y

I initially went to a place in Dunfermline but was not impressed. Workshop was shitty and toilets/washbasins splashed with last weeks handcleaner and what knows else.  Used similar kit to Mr Bones but the tech knowledge was simply not there.  said fronts were only adjustable for tracking and when i pointed out otherwise, the chap was somewhat shirty.  I paid for their time and left, in best News of the World fashion, rather than create a problem.  Lesson learned.....


No doubt that there is somewhere up (real) north that we could use but nothing known as yet.....   :(

I have been to WIM twice, and agree with everything that has been said before, i am going to book the jeep in for a check and poss alignment work within the next couple of weeks. Fortunatly it is only about a 70 mile round trip for me but for thos a lot further away it will be the best money and time you will ever spend on your car, tony is THAT GOOD.  :y

Remember, if you lower the suspension, you must inform your insurance policy, and it may incur a higher premium.

Tony - no need to feel embarrassed about all the plaudits you receive from this forum. It's rare these days to find someone who really cares about service to their customers. I, like others, have travelled a long way (up to Chesham from Hastings) to have you align my Elite, and also like everyone else found the money spent extremely worthwhile to say the least, as the car, which i have had since new, immediately felt completely different and much more responsive to drive. Keep up the good work!!

I feel very humbled by the dedication displayed by club members. I offer the club a very good price but it's not about money, it's about the people and then the car..... Despite owning a million pound centre i prefer to be hands on and in your face and live my life in the real world.
