Balance Motor Works

Craig from Balance Motor Works extracted sheared brake bleed screws from the callipers of my 2007 Nissan 350Z and replaced the OEM cats with HFCs. I'm pleased with the work they carried out and especially happy that I didn't have to fork out for a complete refurbishment of all four callipers. The turnaround was quick and I received frequent phone calls from Julian to keep me updated.After they fitted the HFCs I could hear a slight rattling noise coming from the exhaust. I spoke to Craig and he managed to fit me in just before they closed down for the Christmas period. In the end, there wasn't a problem (just the sound of the new cats) and my mind was put at ease. I wasn't charged for this which I appreciate.Julian also wrote an article on their website about the work done to my car which was a great little read. I did fit a new O2 sensor which works perfectly and cleared the CEL. I'll likely be back to get Lanoguard applied soon!

I had a fantastic customer experience with Julian and Craig at Balance Motor Works my initial contact via email was responded to quickly with a full breakdown of the cost and part requirements for the walnut blasting on my Mazda 3 2.2 diesel. Upon arrival both Julian and Craig walked me through the process and answered any questions I had. I live in London and Julian was happy to drive me back to the local station (in addition to picking me up when the work was completed).My overall impression of the organisation is they truly care about the work they do and go over and above to ensure the customer gets what they pay for even to the extent of providing me with in depth photos of the before and after of the intake manifold and EGR clean. It was a pleasure to give Balance Motor Works my business and would highly recommend them to family and friends…. 5******

Fiat Panda 100HP - 3rd Gear Synchro Gearbox Repair.My Panda 100HP’s gearbox had developed a miss-mesh 'crunch', when down-shifting to 3rd - and occasionally would jump into neutral during swift up-shifts into 3rd. Balance Motor Works informed 3rd gear synchro wear is a common problem with a 100HP cog-swopper - and that they have an established process of repair to rectify it.Back in May of this year, they’d completely overhauled, refreshed and enhanced the car’s suspension - and made such a superb job of that, I had no hesitation in returning to them for the gearbox repair. And they’ve made an excellent job of the 'box, too - it’s now super-slick, both in and out of 3rd. I can now fully enjoy driving the car well into the future. For any car nut, the operation of a car is an all-important part of the driving experience - whatever you’re driving.A Panda 100HP is certainly not as salubrious as many of the cars they work on, but I think they apply the same level of care and knowledge to each job, regardless of the car. I can’t praise the quality of their work and intimate knowledge enough - a great service, rounded-off by excellent value-for-money. I really would urge anyone looking to revitalise or enhance their car to give BM a call.Very many special thanks to Julian and Craig.

Wish I’d have found Julian and his garage years ago. Took my recently purchased Impreza in to have the suspension raised. Squeezed me in and after a shakedown drive knew exactly what was wrong/needed.Great communication and honesty, didn’t suggest or carry out unnecessary work, breath of fresh air!!Julian was genuinely concerned and passionate about my work/project.Will be taking all my vehicles there from now on even though it’s not local for me.10 out of 10, 10 stars, excellent !

Had my vehicle Lanoguarded here and really impressed with the service in terms the work, keeping me informed, pictures and updates on what had been done and clearly Julian is passionate about what he does.I would highly recommend Balance Motor Works and will be more than happy to go back in the future.Thanks Julian, it's nice to come across someone who has old school values and cares about their work and the customer.

Julian and Craig did an excellent job on my car, it had been booked in for a carbon clean but they also sorted out an engine fault which turned out to be a problem with the fuel pump. Great service and the car runs like a dream now. I would highly recommend, they professional and friendly, I plan to use them for any future work as well.

Were available to book me in quickly, as my car failed its MOT. Took on bespoke jobs, as I have a wheelchair ramp. This meant my car successfully passed its MOT retest. Very friendly and explained the jobs clearly. Will be returning to this garage.

Hi,I want to express my gratitude to Julian and Craig (Balance Motorworks) car RestorationThey looked at my car and told me it could be “saved” Rust RestorationHearing those words after the day I had previously was so heart warming.24 hours previous my garage of 23 years told me the car was old, rusty may last another year, start thinking about getting another carHearing those words filled me with dread, thought of loosing a loyal, reliable old friend,histor built together over 23 years.As Julian so rightly said “old cars get under your skin” and “yes” they really do.So, if your in dispare about your old car when every one else has given up.Give Julian and Craig a call you will not be disappointed. There attention to detailIs second to none they have great respect in the work they are commissioned. If, you love your car as I do mine you will find no other that will look after you and your car as they do. Truly five star +

Jules and Craig saved me a lot of heartache and cash last week.My car was struggling to start (and after a lot of aggravation I was ready to get it recovered to a breaker).As a last rolI of the dice I managed to get it over to them and to everyone's surprise Craig found that the previous owner had Installed some kind of diesel mod chip on the car that had since failed causing the car to think it had no fuel.Once removed the car is up and running again. I won't go anywhere else.
