Fantastic experience of SDS Motors and Shpetim. After a WhatsApp message, a quote and availability was provided. All my questions were answered, and the price/time quoted was honoured.
I chose SDS Motors because I saw a review mentioning they had carried out a ford eco boost wet timing belt replacement - a lengthy, pricey, specialist job. Choosing the wrong mechanic for this job would be detrimental.
This particular engine (Ford Fiesta Ecoboost 1.0, 99) has a common fault of the wet belt cracking prematurely, and if it snaps the car is written off.
I also had a stuck coolant lid replaced.
At 103k miles, I knew it was time to get it changed - and I'm glad I did as despite always using the correct oil and keeping oil levels topped up, my belt showed signs of wear and cracks. (See pictures)
The ford fiesta Ecoboost timing belt was changed with a genuine ford part, and the correct engine oil was used - something not all mechanics do with these cars! My fluids were all topped up which I was not expecting too, so bonus points for true care to the craft.
Great service, competitively priced and knowledgeable mechanic.
