Today we remember our fallen colleague Matt Marriage on what would've been his 25th birthday.
Talked about and missed every single day.
A thoroughly decent guy.

Check out our latest Google review:

Knowledgeable, experienced mechanics, first class service, reasonable prices - thoroughly recommended.

I had a consistent slow coolant leak on my Vauxhall Vivaro campervan. After having it all day, my local main dealer advised me that the cooling system was holding pressure OK, and there were no detectable leaks. Baffled, I then took it to John Boyd, and within an hour they confirmed that it was losing pressure, and that the leak was clearly visible from the EGR cooler!

Unfortunately there were no new replacements available anywhere, but I was lucky enough to find a breaker's yard with a used one from a two year old vehicle with only 16k miles on the clock. John and his team fitted it and I was back on the road within a few days.

It makes a refreshing change to find an honest and reliable garage these days - I'll certainly be returning there for any future repairs and servicing.

Thanks Alan, we do our best!
