So I got a few quotes for a towing and London auto was the cheapest. He fitted around my work schedule so i didn’t even need to be there. Then there was an issue with the garage that was meant to receive the van and he helped me so much to find one that could take it. Amazing service which he didn’t have to do. Truly a life saver in a tricky situation! 100% recommend
Great delivery if my ‘65 Mustang. Recommend.
Excellent, quick and friendly service.
Very knowledgeable and honest, helped my Lupo get the right parts.
Excellent Service. Pride in the job, and care for the vehicle. Attention to details when the inevitable happens and bolts are jammed stuck, or an axel isn't moving as expected; all those issues that some services just ignore to speed up their job, are attended to with care and many many years of experience and expertise by Sam and his team. They go above and beyond to deliver the highest standard every day, every job.
Sam is really friendly and efficient. My local garage organised this recovery for me after my tires were slashed and a friendly & efficient Sam was exactly what I needed to feel at ease and glad my car was in safe hands. Thank you Sam!
