So lady’s and gents
We have had to shut the garage this afternoon due to health and safety for the staff as we have recorded 43 degrees inside the garage
And even though we have cold water to hydrate these are not conditions to work in for me never mind my staff so we have decided to go the pub sorry for any inconvenience we will be back open tomorrow morning 🍻

Right people this as been a decision that we have been thinking about for a while as we have been asked by a fair few customers for ECU cloning, DSG mechanics cloning, TCU cloning, BCM cloning, Footwell modules, extra keys

We have always passed this type of work on to other local companies that yes have been doing this for years but are also sometimes very busy and can not always accommodate the time time scale people are after

So as of next week we will be offering these more advanced services and if we get stuck with anything we will have an excellent technical team with multiple years experience to help us through any more complex jobs

We have chosen to go with the latest launch X431 Euro with smart link combined with the latest X PROG 3

So please new, current and old customers if this is a service you need please give us a try and I will reassure you that we will be very competitive on price
