Summary

Started my life in horse racing before moving into engineering slowly developed skillset learning to maintain, repair and diagnose mechanical, electrical and hydraulic faults on various types of machinery. I have always had a keen interest in cars always maintaining, modifying and restoring my own ever since I could remember. Slowly started helping other people leading to paid work before biting the bullet and setting up a 'mobile' mechanic operation but I do also have a small workshop for bigger jobs. I undertake all and every type of work from day to day maintenance, repairs, fault diagnosing, restoration and modification on modern and classis vehicles.
