I'm going to play devils advocate here, for any company let's say for arguments sake they do 1000 jobs and 10 people unhappy for any reason you will hear about all of them, out of the the remaining 990 people not many will go online just to randomly say they had good service

I have always believed in giving praise for a good job regardless of what it may be. There are still people out there who take pride and care in what they do but as you say most of us only hear about the bad work.

I would only get work done my someone who has been recommended.

I only use one mechanic for my cossies.

Another mate had a twin turbo engine built someone which cost him loads and it was fucked - ended up going to court over it.

I agree there are loads of reports but do your own research as always

There's some shaddy buggers about, JDM garage is one of them, bought my supra through them with a freshly built engine, it was junk crank knackered and bodged together engine just to sell it.

No paperwork for engine but that Paul I think his name was assured me engine built by a good engine builder it was all a load of bollox !
