Hello fellow people, hope your all ok just thought i would offer my services here we go

i have been working for citroen for the past 6 years now and spent 3 years doing my level 3 NVQ and passed, now it come to the time where money is tight for every one and iv got bigger prospects and im looking to start my own business in service and repairs, i was just looking to see if any body needs any work doing eg , heater matrix, clutch , gear box services ect as i have vast amounts of knowlage about these cars and could beat any quotes you would find in any local garage or main dealer as i don't pay vat i dont pay many overheads .I live in Reading RG5 area
so give me a call 07817956046
