 Hi Derek

We took the Jag to a classic car show and displayed it on the Jag Owners Club stand and all the 'know-all' owners thought it looked amazing. Many thanks

Hi Derek,
Just a short note to say a big thank you for all the work you completed on my Alfa, I only got a good look around last night, it looks fantastic and has pushed my planned restoration forward significantly.
Thanks again

Derek has just rebuilt my sisters 3 series BMW after it was involved in an accident and needed a new front end. The work was completed in a matter of days and he put a fresh 12 months MOT on it ready for the VIC check. It  looks as good as it did pre- accident

Many thanks for a swift, good value service.

Regards

Chris - Woking

 Hi Derek

Mr S, Guildford 

"Hi Derek – Just a quick word of thanks for your work on the Mini. It sailed through its MOT today and the mechanic was very complimentary about the job you’ve done.

"Autopride dealt with all the welding and paintwork on my Triumph Dolomite Sprint. It was all done to a superb standard and completed quickly, with great communication and lots of pictures of the work as it progressed. I would recommend Autopride to anyone".
Mr S, Hants.

"I met Derek through needing work done on my Dolomite 1850HL. Without his input the car would have been scrapped as it was not an ecomomical repair following failing its MOT on corrosion in the chassis rails. Not only did Derek repair the car at a very reasonable price but also put it through the MOT as well. Since then I have sold the 1850 and purchased a sprint to replace it. Derek has carried out several repairs on the sprint such as sourcing and replacing the top half only of the front panel using a second hand part, something most repairers would not feel was worth their while. He has undertaken other repairs on the car including mechanical work all of which has been done to a high standard at a very reasonable cost. Derek will be a natural choice to restore my latest acquisition, the Volvo P1800 estate shown in his gallery of pictures".

Mr C. Woking

"I asked Derek to paint my wife's Scimitar after seeing his work on the Triumph Dolomite web site and hearing good reports of his work from a close friend. He did a great job, works quickly and provides progress reports and photos on a regular basis. We were so pleased with the price and quality that we asked Derek to repair our BMW which was looking rather sad - Derek worked his magic and the BMW is now back looking lovely again. I'm glad we found Derek and thoroughly recommend Autopride to anyone needing work done on their vehicle."

Mr T. Hants

I met Derek through the Triumph Dolomite Club when he bought a project vehicle from me and restored it to show condition. Since that time Derek has carried out work on a number of vehicles for me including a 1998 Mini Cooper, a 1977 Triumph Dolomite Sprint, a 1980 S3 Land Rover, a 1993 Land Rover. He has carried out all this work at my premises and to a very high standard.

The work has included fabrication and welding of complicated chassis parts, replacement of double curve roof sections, fabrication and welding of roof channels, boot floor replacements, inner and outer sill welding, reconstruction of inner wings and fabrication of bespoke parts to my specifications.

Derek's work has always been of an excellent standard and at a fair price. He works in a tidy and methodical manner and the results have always been extremely pleasing. His work on vehicles which have needed rectification for MOT testing has been praised for its tidiness.

I have no hesitation in recommending Derek to other members of the Dolomite Club, to members of other classic car clubs that I am a member of and to friends and relations. Several of my friends have already used and been pleased with Autopride's services

Mr G, Hants
