Another garage couldn't find the fault. Is it worth bringing it in?

That's what several reviewers did: one had work done elsewhere that made things worse, another had been given astronomical quotes or turned away. Bring any paperwork from earlier diagnostics or repairs, and say what's already been tried.

Can you fit me in at short notice?

Reviewers mention being fitted in last minute on a Saturday, and fitted in the next day when the workshop was very busy. Ring 07761 014305 to see what's possible.

Yes. Van repair is one of the topics Google picks out of the reviews. Ring with the make and model and what it's doing.

How much will it cost?

There are no prices on this site because every job is different. Ask what it costs to have the car looked at, and get a price for the repair before you agree to it. Reviewers mention fair, good prices.

My MOT has run out. Can I still drive it in?

In the UK you can drive to a pre-booked MOT test, as long as the car is roadworthy. Book first, then bring it straight in.
