## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I found the company exemplary is both the work they did (my bumper needed refixing after a little accident with a low wall) and in their communication. Ben was most helpful as was the gentleman who picked up the car. The cost for the repair was very reasonable. I would certainly recommend Pace Automotive Repairs."

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
