Great story and I've had a lot of success with Terry in past years. I thought he was planning to retire at the end of last year. Is he still in Stourbridge? My car is due another service shortly and I haven't a clue where in the West MIdlands I'll go if Terry can't do it...

Just the other month my car was diagnosed to having a worn Clutch and a dual fly mass wheel. I went bananas in the garage to the owner and told him to get my car off his garage floor. When he started getting confrontational with me I pointed out that my car was an auto. His face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Knowledge is power, whether it be onions, spuds or car repairs

Fairwater Garage in Cardiff. The T4 from Neath.. Won't use him again. The other diagnostics were local mobile ones...won't use those again . The only descent garage who admitted they didn't have a clue after having the car for 2 weeks was First Auto engineer's In Cardiff. They never charged me for any of the diagnostic work because they couldn't give me a diagnosis to find the fault.
