“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.”
“I nearly bought a new machine but decided to get a repair quote first. So glad I did — the pump replacement cost £95 and it's worked perfectly for 6 months since.”
