  I have worked in the mechanical electrical vehicle field since leaving Dunoon grammar school in 
  1986, and started as an apprentice to a time served marine engineer, since then I have been 
  working as a mechanic for various companies in the Plant, HGV and Marine industry which 
  involved various tasks including engine rebuilds and repairs, welding, shot blasting and resprays 
  and fabrication on various boats, cars, HGV, complete re-wiring of US navy vessels to M.O.D 
  standards.
  Vehicle servicing and maintenance to a small fleet of vans lorries and cranes.
  Since moving from Scotland I have been working around Kent in Plant and HGV industry and in 
  1995 I studied motor vehicle engineering which was the BTEC MOTOR VEHICLE 
  ENGINEERING, a 2 year course which I completed in 1 year gaining best 2nd year student and 
  winning the 'Dutton Forshaw Award'.
  I realised that I could better use my skills and experience becoming self-employed and gain 
  some independence to use my skills as I choose.
  I like to think that I can solve any problem put my way and understanding the needs of 
  businesses and individuals alike, I realise that the cost of vehicle maintenance can become an 
  expensive necessary evil, and make it my aim to cut these costs where ever possible, as i have 
  no real fixed costs like a mainstream garage I can cut the costs to you as a general rule by 
  halving the cost of any genuine quote for most work as there are some limitations to what can be 
  done quickly and efficiently out in the field, a good example i am often asked to do are clutches 
  so my rule here is i only do rear wheel drive vehicles on the road or in the garage. The reason 
  being is after doing some transverse mounted front wheel drive cars which most are “look under 
  the bonnet if the engine is mounted left to right then its transverse mounted” i reckon as general 
  cost its about £450-£500 for me to do it an honest garage should be around £350 -£400 so a 
  garage is your best option for these4 cars “ the reason being is it takes me a long time climbing 
  on the floor and then standing up and doing this over a few hours takes a lot longer than a 
  garage with a ramp” rear wheel drive is mainly done underneath and i often do rear wheel drives 
  vans and cars etc. 
  Also major servicing can be done this way and major repairs over weekends, engine changes, 
  pumps rebuilds, this can sometimes be a problem due to supply of spare parts as everyone is 
  closed, I will work with you to get the parts possible required and hope that nothing else is 
  needed to complete the work if this is the case i will aim to get the vehicle back into working 
  condition while the appropriate parts become available which i can arrange for any vehicle at a 
  percentage of the parts cost (See costs for info - Click here).
