 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredidle business/person to deal with. Purchased a gearbox service kit and forgot to order grease. Got the item added and received next day. He even helped me out with a little aviation compound as none available to purchase. Knowledgable, friendly and obviously loves what he does. A+++++++++++

Returning customer for a Etec VST. Shopped around and the best price in the UK. Not only that but the 10 minute chat to explain how easy the process is was invaluable. I might be a bit old at 55 but if I lived closer id be knocking on his door trying to get an apprenticeship and a dream job. lol. A fantastic business and will always be my first port of call.
