I have used Mark for a little while now, but things are even better at his new place.
I dropped my car in for some attention to the brakes, i needed replacement calipers at the front, rear pads de-dusting and the handbrake adjusted. All done brilliantly, and the car stops better than ever.
However, whilst I was making a coffee (I had to do it, Mark was too busy
) he was busy tightening my battery clamps, re-filling my washer bottles and checking other fluid levels and generally giving the car a once over - none of which I had asked him to do. Top service and attention to detail
I can give him a whole-hearted recommendation

Hi Mike,
It is just off Millers Road, if you are coming from the hospital end, then drive past Scarbank (first turning on right), past Warwick MOT centre, then on the right hand side is a French car specialist called (IIRC) PRS.
You need to turn right at PGS, it is a pretty rutted road, drive all the way to the end and you will reach a courtyard, bear right and Marks unit is number 4, which is in the right hand corner.
Hope this helps
Jason

Just been down to TD with the old man to get some brake hoses changed on his wagon.
He's well impressed with the service so I think thats another happy customer for TD there

Thanks to Mark at TD for helping me out Thursday night at no notice.
I could see he was busy but he still managed to get my car on the ramp and sort out my back plate that had started rubbing on my brake disc, after a little play in the snow
Cheers again fella!

Just over at Thwaites Developments now.
Well heres the review.
Excellent! Very impressed and will definately be coming back again. Mark is a very approachable fellow with an obvious passion for cars and a wealth of knowledge to.
I have had a full service and without any asking he has checked all my tyres, brake disks and pads, handbrake tension, oil change (let me keep the last bit for topping up), filters etc, answered my 2473 questions about my car, helped me shop on Ebay, discussed future modifications, made me 5 coffee's, bought me a quarter pounder meal from McDonalds.. with cheese! (Cheese GODDAMIT!)
I can definately recommend them, with free Wifi and Coffee with nice leather Sofa whilst you wait.
I would also like to thank Ryan for the coffee's and chat and Chris for going out of his way to sort us out with McDonalds.
Cheers

My poorly car is there now! Due to all the good things said about Mark on here, he now has my baby for fixing 
Clutch went yesterday on the M6 so it's in for new clutch, full service and cambelt change. Maybe some wheel tracking as well.
I've not been over there yet, car went there on the back of an AA truck, but from the phone calls with Mark, I dont think my car could be in any better hands
Take good care of her Mark

I saw your car on Saturday down at Marks and this afternoon, and I can assure you it is being very well looked after. It is getting all the TLC it deserves.
It is a very nice car by the way
One of the nicest I have seen, and I love the wheels

Hey Jason
Thanks for comments, yeh that's my car. Popped in this evening to see it's broken bits. Only had it about 2 weeks and I'm fixing it already lol. Still, the rest of the car is pretty sound now, so after this weeks work, should be tip top. Will definately use Mark for all my servicing and mods from now on, he definately knows his stuff. I've left it all now in his more than capable hands

Did you see a lovely white Mazda 323 down there? Thats my missus car, i trust him with that too even though its not a scooby. I hope its not cramping his style , although it is a 2.0 v6 so could possibly be described as a kind of performance car

Its only a 10 minute walk into Warwick too so its easy to pass the time, or just watch Mark and ask a million questions, thats what I do
