if anyone is interested i am a mechanic and can do just about anythin you need done on your car at your house. (cant remove engine obviously!)

im in cumbernauld willing to travel to glasgow, falkirk, coatbridge, airdrie kinda areas.

can do anythin mechanical and if your car is out of warranty i can service it for a fraction of wot it would cost in a garage.

anyone interested pm me

I wish id listened to this guy before, When my corsa needed a gearbox i asked him for a price and he said £250 which included replacing the clutch. But the car was already at a garage and they wanted £300 which was reasonable at the time, so i got the garage to do the gearbox. Went to pick it up and the clutch was completley gone. And then i was soo pissed off i ended up selling it for £650:woops:
