> "A big thank you to Ken, Ann, Lorraine, Tina, and the team at Regal Engine for instilling another lease of life in our Peugeot 207. I couldn't be happier. Our car engine seemed to be burning oil. It was recommended that I look into an engine rebuild. The things that I was impressed with were: - Very prompt reply with a quote - The very diligent service and excellent knowledge - Very friendly and super helpful: we got offered a lift to the station as we had to leave our car for a few days for repairs - The car's high CO emissions issues were resolved subsequently I would certainly recommend"

## 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.
