There friendly service and helpful service kept me going and on the road with my caravan. They put themselves out to correct a trailer repair business that couldn't do the job right in the first place. They fixed the over heating shoes and wheel bearings. Corrected the brakes on the otherside that didn't work at all on one wheel and tightened the brake shoes on the 3rd. I recommend them to anyone looking for a good mechanic.
