booked my car in with charlie last week to have my exhaust fitted and spent a few hours there while it was sorted, the reputation this guy has is unbeleivable, so much so that 3 e30's came all the way from the netherlands to have his craftmanship on there cars which says it all really.

i really cant recomend charlie enough and he's a right good laugh whilst doing the job.

You might say that's down to the heavy policing of negative comments on PH but in Pro-Speeds case I would say there probably wasn't any bad press.
I don't think Charlie or other similar establishments realise the power of PH or other forums come to that and how they could milk the recommendation angle.
If it wasn't for PH I wouldn't have known of Pro-Speed and I probably wouldn't be as pleased with my zorst as I am, and I certainly wouldn't have gone out of Cardiff to have my wheels refurbed but thanks to PH recommendation I'm off to Renowheel in Bridged on Saturday. Lets hope their as good as people say.

Sorry all a bit of topic, I'll shut up now getmecoat

after meeting charlie for the first time, having achat and getting onwith him like a house onfire , i enjoy popping down there.

charlies had me sort out his computers in return for some work hes done for me and we get on great, his staff are most courteous and polite at all times, and i have been made official coffee bloke when i do visit.

one thing charlie is , hes a consummate professional and takes his work very seriously, he alwyas checks with the client about what they want and when needed can make the right and informed decisions about what to do.

as stated, people come from different countries for charlies work, i think that says it all really, dont you?


as for woody, he had hair once, then the flames from my pipes burned it all off the last time i saw him wink
and i wouldnt say hes fat, he just likes the burger meal deals from round the corner too much ( then again so do i, i ate 2 of them last time i was down there and as i didnt leave till late i bought a pizza only to find i got another one free!!)

this guy has set up people in exhausts all over the palce, his work is second to none matey, you cant knock a guy for that.

he built me a system, i went back a while later, about 4-5 weeks after it bedded in, he didnt like the sound so he ripped it off and built me another one at no extra cost to myself. only after he built the new one was he happy.

last time i went down there to sort a pc out for him one of my pipes split, he quickly finished another car off, put mine on the ramp, gave me some tools and some silicon pipes and let me get on with itas i new where it was, he even suggested that when i get time to book it in for an hour and he will make me a cutom pipe section to replace the silicon.

i dont work for him but i givecredit where credits due no more no less.
