MOTIVATION
I have 30 years vast experience in a wide field.I am a Mechanic, not a new part fitter. There is nothing I can’t do when I put my mind to it. I have pride in my work and believe in doing the job correct the first time. It is my passion to try and fix/manufacture/build components myself before replacing with a new ones.
