Adam Hills - February 24, 2026

"I walked past LDR when it opened a while ago and saw how clean and tidy the workshop was so thought I’d give it a go. I met Lee and after servicing my car once I now use him for all my mechanical needs. He takes the time to diagnose the problem, sends you videos of what he’s done or proposes, and gives you advice on the option he would recommend to fix any issues. He isn’t pushy and I never feel sold to. I trust him to do what he says he will and if something will last for a few more miles or another year he lets you know. A really nice guy and great set up."

"Lee has been so helpful to both my husband and daughter when they have had queries with their cars. He offers free advice regarding any car issues and directs customers to the best service providers if he is unable to do the job. My daughter's car service was excellent and reasonably priced. We highly recommend."
