Tommorow we close

may i first say this its been a plesure to work with john and i think he is one of the best friends i have ever had and i know he is upset about the closing down but i will still look after him

now to tell the story
the economic climate has and is the problem rent up /rates up/ utilitys up/ etc

but our rates not up .

I know there is no money around and have tryed to keep things going but not enough work to do this

so after a longtime thinking i have sold the contents and myself and john to a small haulage company


i will still look after your cars but it will be by appointment only at home and not for free


i am still crying about this and will tell more when i get time but if help is needed call me


i owe a big thanks to all who know me and i owe a big thanks to john who has supported me and helped me through the bad and good times.




We will be back

andy

A very sad day which i am not looking forward to if i am being honest.

I have enjoyed myself and learned alot while working with Andy, Learning how not to use a hammer was probably my best lesson ( Andy's favorite tool)

On a serious note, it is a shame it has come to this and i have met some very good people from here and outside the forum with our meets and general contacts.

The support has gone both ways for me and andy, many a time he has bailed me out of the brown and sticky stuff and its made a very good friendship which i appreciate. We have had many a laugh, wind up and banter which has made the work more enjoyable.

A new start is very near and i hope everything works out for the pair of us.

thank you to everyone who has used our services and like andys says
We will be back

John

Default Closure

Andy and John,

This closure is an absolute tragedy. You two were brilliant when I brought my car to you while on a trip to watch Rugby at Rotherham. John supplied and fitted a Cheetah Tuning Chip ( Now loaned to PeteTourer) Changed a Tyre and checked a S/H Fan for me. I live near Heathrow so you are too far away for standard normal issues. However, had you pencilled in if my clutch ever needed replacing. Hope all goes well for you both. Top pair of guys.

Regards, Peter.
