Been using Leelac for over 10 years now and if you have Saab that's the only place where you can get it properly checked and fixed. The knowledge and experience they have is insane and most likely there's no problem they could not fix. Always appreciate their service.

Always good service. I use them every time I need to fix my car, do the annual service, and prepare for mot. The price is very reasonable, the knowledge of the Saab is first class.
Highly recommended.

My Saab was occasionally showing ‘limited performance’ warning that other garages had been unable to sort out. Owner of this Saab garage found the problem very quickly and repaired it at very reasonable cost. Very impressive friendly service.

A great experience saved me from an MOT failure with a seatbelt repair nobody else could do. Good range of saab spares and practical knowledge

Long term client here. I have repaired all of my SAAB's with David for a long time, well not anymore.

Over two years ago I let David to repair my 9-5 Aero. It supposed to be full engine rebuild. My wish was to build hybrid engine from B234/B235, and I have provided most parts for this build together with B2x4 engine block. Long story short I've paid around 2,5k, and two years later I don't have drivable car.

First sign there was something not right with this rebuild, is that car was slowly loosing coolant since I've picked it up. Mind you this was after full engine rebuild. Two weeks after picking up my 9-5, driving back from work to home, one of the coolant hoses decided to spontaneously burst on the way back, despite my request to replace everything that need to be replaced on my 9-5. So right then I realised that David have put everything back together on old set of hoses, probably sparing here and there. Asked why he done that, he stated that I did not provide him with new set. I have laughed. Should have made decision to ask David to take my car back and redo all the work. Due to my need for the car at that time and my own stupidity I didn't.

When I decided to redo full front suspension with different garage, while me being present there trough entire process, someone pointed out to me that left side front drop link nut was hanging only on couple of threads. This got my blood boiled at this point, because I have driven this car like this for months. Did I also mentioned that David should have done wheel alignment as well, as part of our deal? Well how you can do wheel alignment with half way done/undone drop link, it's unknown for me until this day.

Six months ago engine decided to start to mix oil with coolant, which was a final straw for me to write this review. I just want to point out here that David have got my car back then on his yard for three months, so there is no excuses here to be made. I simply think three months is enough time to make sure you have buttoned everything up. Apparently not. David when asked if it was him who put my car all together (which was clearly requested by me as well) he confirmed, but personally I highly doubt that, which shows you on how many levels I have been lied to and screwed.

Today I highly doubt that this engine was build up to my spec, and I know that I have been shamelessly and simply ripped off. Thinking that you have just dropped 2,5k on your car would make you think that everything was done top notch, but apparently I was solely wrong on that matter.

Here I would like to point out that despite a fact of me pointing many new clients to David back in the old days, I would not recommend him to anyone today. Simply waste of your time, nerves and above all money.
