I won't take my classic Land Rover Defender anywhere else. Sean and his guys are the best. They are thorough and fair. Sean knows more about these trucks than any other mechanic I've been to. There's a reason people ship their trucks to him from all over the US...

We had a great experience, they couldn't have been more professional and courteous. They kept us up each day with what was happening . We were in Manchester for an appointment, our car started giving us trouble lights flashing we didn't know what we were going to do. We used to use South elm automotives thank God…
