I wish we had similar up north, we have some good garages up here no doubts, but none in their league.  :notworthy:

I've never had any direct dealings with their work but once had a late night conversation with Jim via pm regarding HPFP's which lasted about an hour, and he couldn't have been more helpful, very knowledgeable and friendly :happy2:

I have never used them but always heard good thing from them, they are right on my doorstep, less than 20 miles away, but have always used APS, and have stuck with them, may poke my head in JKM when Im passing but Im sure it will turn out expensive!  Just a HPFP and cooler left........

If you are going there then I wouldn't go down the M275.
Take the next junction, go down the A2030 (Eastern Road) and turn right at the next lights.  :smiley:

....

I've used JKM for a few years now and seen them grow. They're a family business: Jim and sister Kate and their great friend Keith plus Claire and a few mechanics who have worked there a while which should tell you something. They're genuine and caring enthusiasts.

It's horses for courses as always and my chosen 'team' to look after my beloved GTI is JKM, VW Loders, and VWR - They overlap but each have particular strengths the others don't.

JKM are the success they are because of the people they are and opening another branch elsewhere wouldn't cut it.

I'm sure there must be equivalents up north - Stattlers?
