after a lot of thought i have decided to share this so no one else gets caught out.. im warning people not to use the services of tim butcher from military road in pennar.. just after easter we contacted him to fit an engine into our ice cream van. we done this after his assurances that he was a qualified mechanic and was more than capable of performing the job. after 2 weeks of waiting and chasing him to return the van we finally went to his works on the industrial site at the back of asda petrol station and managed to get the van back... since getting it back it has been nothing but trouble.. we have had fitters look at it since. the job was unprofessional. it came back to us with a serious oil leak,water leaks. we had to start the engine with 2 wires and stall it to stop it. wires have been cut. bolts were missing everywhere. the van was left in a dangerous condition and has cost almost £1000 to make safe. in the last week the van has yet again broken down with serious engine failure. we didnt think this was a problem because we had a spare short motor down where he work. we collected this and when we inspected it in daylight discovered that he has stripped this engine of its pistons and a very expensive diesel pump rendering the engine useless. we have tried contacting him to return these parts and have been ignored.. we will be taking him to court to recover what we have lost... our business has lost in excess of £10000 due to this in lost bookings and has only been able to work for less than 3 weeks all summer. it is costing over £1500 to get a recon engine to get the vehicle going again... so please do not use this man,he leaves your cars in a dangerous condition and in all truth he has almost bankrupt our business
