"Had an issue with emissions on my van. Found AJ Autos by chance after other garages could not fix the problem. Andy was informative, knowledgeable and helpful. He fixed my van within a couple of hours on a Friday afternoon."

"My Mercedes ML250 kept going into limp mode. Andy diagnosed the issue very quickly to the intake manifold. An enormous undertaking, done brilliantly. This is the second review I've left — it's only right."

"I had the DPF cleaned. Also adblue tank and dpf sensor replaced. He sorted out the mess I was left in after another garage left the car in limp mode. Very knowledgeable, patient and honest about what needed to be done."
