Hi and welcome to the forum.

They are Kirkman aka PH Sportscars. Eric, Chris, Alan and I all use them.

Excellent service, excellent prices. You're right Lindsay, they ship in OPC engineers at the weekend wich means a lot of their work is carried out at weekends, which helps us a lot and about half OPC prices.

I would certainly recommend them but don't be put off by their premises.

Simon, who runs Kirkmans for Paul, is an ex-OPC tech himself. He is one of the original two techs who moonlighted for Paul at the weekend. PHS still exists, although Paul isnt as keen as he used to be. When Alan (Kirkman) decided to retire, Paul shrewdly bought the business, which was in the premises next door to his. Paul has since moved to other premises on the same site and given up the original garage and huge warehouse units.
