EXCELLENT Based on 203 reviews Posted on Mark WadhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called one day and he was at my door the next. Ran a cable in my car for me in 10mins flat for a new audio system, would probably have taken me over an hour and I'd probably have broken something in the process. Also did quite a lot of tidying up, made everything neat, cleaned the battery terminals for me that had degraded and connected everything up. Made an existing connection that I'd made to the amplifier more sturdy. Did way more than I asked him to, clearly very experienced and knows what he's doing, will definitely use again!Posted on Peter BruceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t be better. Turned up when he said he would. Diagnosed the fault. Ordered the part. Fitted it the next day.
