About Me

I grew up loving cars and wanting to learn more about how they work, I picked up a spanner as soon as I could hold one.
I started working with push bikes and motorbikes at 13 years old and my first job was working in the local pushbike shop on Saturdays. From there I got a job as a mechanic and I’ve been working on cars in a variety of aspects ever since.

For the last 10 years I have been doing machinery maintenance and repairs which led to us taking over Affordable Towbars which used to also have MH Garden Machinery attached. Although I’ve not fitted towbars previously the team has been established here for some time so with training and practice I will be joining them. With the help of my partner Caz and the team of fitters we offer all aspects of maintenance and repair for garden and construction equipment as well as towbar fitting and coding.

We hope to go mobile in the future so watch this space.
