Another very satisfied customer.

After months of putting it off I finally faced up to the fact that only having one intermittentlty working key fob was going to get me in trouble very soon, and I couldn't live without a remote boot opening kit any longer.

I called Carl last week and his service was excellent - dropped the car off on Sunday evening, Carl dropped me at the station and I caught the train back to London and returned to pick up the car last night.

Both my blippers were dead. Carl overwrote the alarm, provided two new blippers and performed the key conversion to one of them, fitted a remote boot release kit, and installed a new siren (the previous one had been removed at some point - the new one has a key to turn it off if needed).

Really nice bloke, very good value and excellent service. Highly recomended.

OH you are, If you have received good service, then share with all.

There are only problems and legalities involved when the naming and shaming policies are breached.

£320 inc parts and vat, which considering he spent most of the afternoon in the cold trying to get a substitute siren to work i thought was very good value.

Did get slightly worried when he left me in his kitchen alone with his dog mojo though.

Guys,

I can only confirm everything that Radzoule has said....I had pretty much the same work carried out by Carl about a month ago.....and he couldn't have been more helpful.
I think if you have any issues of an electrical nature - especially around alarm / immobiliser / audio then he is your man to sort it!!

P.S. - No I am not on commission...and NO - I am not Carl either !!

Yup, I can agree with all the above. I used Carl for a new immobiliser unit and a key conversion a few months ago.
A very friendly chap, works from home and is very hospitable - his dogs are totally mad and good company whilst waiting for him to do the work.
Highly recommended!!!

Had the Key conversion and boot release done by Carl in the summer, Very professional & nice guy.
The kit was incredable value for money and i don't know how i managed without the remote release (it's a must have item).
Also agree about the dog had an enjoyable game of fetch the stone.

Had the pleasure of using Carl last year and did a similar post then.

Almost 20 months since I had this work carried out and its still perfect.

Carl did a 2 day turn around via post on replacing clicker for the Chimaera.

Top Man, cannot rate him high enough.

Agree with all that has been said on this subject Carl did two key conversions, remote boot release and fitted new siren also set my alarm up correctly earlier in the year.

Great service, good tea and very entertaining dogs and how usefull is the remote boot release!!!!

Me too! Another happy camper - also had new siren, alarm, fobs and boot release mod.
He did it in about 5 hours whilst I sat in the sun lounge (lovely day) with coffee and my book with a friendly dog to chat with. Great work and the boot opener is a face-saver on the forecourt.
If you haven't had the mod done your missing out.
