I love engines and electronics. I suppose that’s just as well, having spent 34 years in the Navy keeping helicopters in the air. Aircraft maintenance isn’t something you get half-right, some of the time – it needs to be spot-on, every time, without fail. To do that, you have to be organised, methodical, love a challenge and really enjoy a project. There’s nothing to match the thrill of finding, investigating and sorting out problems – unless it’s helping other people do that for themselves.

That’s why I established Ubique Motor DIY – the first do-it-yourself garage in Cornwall and Devon. I want as many people as possible to get the same enjoyment I do from being able to fix their own motors, and to be around to help out if they feel a bit out of their depth.

I’ve spent a lot of time setting up Ubique, thinking about what you’ll need and getting it together. I can put into your hands all those essential things you’ll need to maintain and self-service your car or bike, and can point you to other businesses that I work with and trust if what you need to do requires a specialist.

Some other things about me:

  • I like helping, trusting and meeting people
  • Safety, safety, safety – three things that are really important to me!
  • I love overcoming problems and achieving things
  • I won’t be beaten, and will go above and beyond your expectations to help you out
  • I like to be efficient, and don’t like waste
  • I don’t believe in quick-fixes – I want the job to be done properly

If any of what you’ve read here appeals to you and you want to talk about your vehicle, please give me a call. Can’t wait to hear from you.
