Just wanted to say that I had my car serviced by Steve Williams a while ago now and was very impressed!

Added up to quite a cost, but had a lot done!!!

He picked up on a few issues and made a few recommendations for future work as well.

Put on refurbished calipers on the front, after finding one had seized (I knew that the Elan brakes had question marks over them but was sure they shouldn't be that bad!! )
Also recommend an upgrade in discs and pads that works very well.

Would definetly recommend.
