“Really easy process. Described the fault, got contacted by two engineers the same day, chose the better-priced one. Turned out to be the carbon brushes — sorted in under an hour.”
“Good experience overall. Took about 3 hours to hear back but the engineer who came was excellent — knew exactly what the fault was from my description before he even looked at it.”
“Got 3 quotes within an hour. Engineer came next morning, fixed the drum bearing and it's been perfect ever since. Would have cost me £400 for a new machine — paid £140 for the repair.”
