What our customers say about us

  • I've used X Works a couple of times now and I've always found their work to be spot on and at a good price.

    Mr. Henderson
  • They are the guys who literally were at the factory service and had to sort out some of the problem warranty issues so they certainly know their stuff and their rates are good as well

    Jim Edwards
  • Can vouch for Heath and Paul at X Works they have just done the 12,000 service on my 4.3 Tamora and I’m very happy.

  • Heath and Paul have looked after many of my TVRs over the years. Whilst at the factory and now via X Works. Top blokes who know the cars inside and out. Don't forget to take some biscuits.

    Craig Tonner
  • I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank-you to you guys for doing such a brilliant job on the Griff. In 30 years of car ownership, I don’t think I’ve ever received a car back from a service so well prepared. I can honestly say the car is transformed.

    Richard Madden
  • The car drove fantastic on the way home, the set up is flawless!
