An appointment system is in operation for the workshop, with work normally completed within 24 hours - simplest is to email your request (you will normally receive a reply within 3 hours) using the online form.
All work will have an initial assessment and a fixed cost agreed - any variations as a result of findings during the work will be advised and approval obtained before proceeding.
Basic parts and consumables are stocked but some components will need to be ordered.
