“Today when I picked up the car they had not completed everything to the way I want it. So they did no more than put the car back in the workshop carried out the work then and there and I got coffee and a place to work from. I have always found the staff at Kinghams to be their biggest asset. On every occasion the team at Kinghams have tried (and normally do) to solve the issue to my satisfaction.”
