Fitting Notes:

I work to an agreed price irrespective of how long the job takes. That way I am under no pressure to rush the job and you don't get any unpleasant surprises if it takes longer than anticipated.
Payment is prefered via bank transfer although we can take cards please advise us in advance as we need to charge the machine up :)
Preferred start time is 9:00am - 10am. Weekdays only, excluding bank holidays. I'll usually be ready for you at least 15 mins before then.
We do cater for other vans in our day to day work both mechanics and welding, we are old school though so we do not have any diagnostic equipment for more modern vehicles, namely 2000 on..

Domestic Arrangements:

You are welcome to stay in the van whilst the work is being undertaken if you wish,
please do NOT chat to me when I'm working as I need to concentrate, and definitely no hanging over my shoulder whilst I'm doing it as that is very off-putting and potentially dangerous.
An electric hook up is available, approx 6Amp.
You can take a 15-20min bus ride into Gloucester.
If you walk or have dog(s) with you there is a canal walk but its about a mile walk along a country lane to get to it
