Bench's auto repairs.

Well we're finally at the end of 2023, won't be celebrating like I normally would, you might find me propping a bar up somewhere, I think I deserve a few drinks after this year, 2023 the year that was sent to break me, the year that I can safely say will always make me, 2023, you nearly killed me, you took alot from me but I'm still here surviving, living the best I can, 2023, you put me in a wheelchair, you swept me off my feet, I will walk again I'm determined too, I might not be able to walk for miles or climb a mountain like I've always wanted to but this years taught me even if I manage to walk to the end of the road it's a privilege to walk not a given right, it can be taken from any of us at any point so make the most of what you have while you have it, thank you to all my family and friends who've supported me this year, I'm making a come back bigger than anyone ever thought I could. If you have a dog walk it when you can, if you have kids take them for a walk to the park when you can, if it's raining put the wellies on and enjoy the rain, take every moment and opportunity you can while you can, tomorrow is never guaranteed and this year taught me that, 2023 please kindly f**k off and goodbye, hello 2024 !!!

Started the day witha nice simple mondeo rear spring. Failed mot due to being snapped.

2nd job of the day being a leaky rocker cover gasket on a saab, cleaned up the head thoroughly and a fresh gasket fitted.

3rd and last job was a set off rear pads on a range rover, turned into slightly more than that when I checked over the vehicle and found a leaking and chuffing injector seal when customer complained about smelling fumes in cabin. Other 5 booked in for fitting, and also rear drop link discovered to be snapped. Also booked in for repairs.

I went out with a customer who’s become a good friend through the business, 4/5 hours later we came out with his new car, being a regular customer does pay. Just try not to take advantage and say you’ve been quoted cheaper elsewhere, you’ve been quoted cheaper elsewhere for what reason ? Do you get a no quibble warranty ? If it goes wrong I’ll be there if you call, if you drop me a car off, and it’s not the issue you’ve diagnosed it as your still going to be charged for my time to look at the vehicle and diagnose the issue. So it may save you some money if your correct but if your not correct it’ll potentially cost you money in the long run, business is getting harder and harder and there’s days I just want to throw the towel in with the way some people expect everything for nothing, I do it to provide myself a life I can live off, and also look after those who look after me.

my phone is currently down until further notice, will reply to all messages recieved here in a timely manor, still out and about working too!

Had this in for what seems to be a questionable m.o.t, only several things of the list were actually required !!!

It was far to warm, buckets of sweat dripping off me while doing it, pains to break the lower ball joint, lots of trim removal to access bush bolt, and lots of trim removal to access fuel filter.
But it was all done and will be on the way to Spain for its annual holiday on Friday!!!

With freedom day looming lots of you will be throwing away rules and regulations, here i won't be wearing a mask but I will still be keeping my distance, dont forget all your servicing, braking, and suspension works I will be here, mots arranged and repairs carried out and all other works undertaken

So with it being so slow on the old tools, might start a little mowing business, so if you want ir need lawns mowing hit me up.
