After already replacing one of the air struts on my Lexus RX450h at a cost £900 and then heard creaking noise from other strut. I knew if I could get the strut out I could get the top mount refurbished by Brian at a cost of £85 rather than replacing the entire strut. Brian offered a brilliant service - was very responsive, helpful, and informative. I had my new top mount within 2 days (which looked as good as new) using the exchange service . It's rare to find a service like this now. Highly recommended.

Lexus rx450 top mount repair

Brian is the holy grail of this repair! Found his details in the lexus forum, as he came highly recommended for this repair.

Brian was so helpful, amongst other options the one that worked for me was driving to him and the garage next door (GX garage) remove the top mount, took it next door to Brian. Brian repaired it and gave it back to the garage and I was in and out within 3hrs and was given a courtesy car during that time.

I cannot recommend Brian and the team at Gotherington Cross Garage enough.

The whole process was smooth, swift, professional and great value for money. The drive has massively improved, the difference is night and day! The steering is lighter, smooth like butter and not a clunk to be heard.

The 5hr round trip from London to Gloucestershire was worth it.

Outstanding!

I saved a substantial sum of money using Brian's excellent service. Brian is trustworthy and very professional. I had a faulty strut top replaced using one of Brian's and my car is back on the road, fully working. I even got £100 back after returning the faulty part Brian saved us hundreds of £'s. Highly recommend his strut replacement service and Brian as a person is great to deal with too.

My local service garage recently informed me that the top strut on my Lexus RX450H would need replacing due to a knocking noise on last hand lock at low speed but as it is a fixed part of the strut they were unable to carry out repair and suggested I contact Lexus main dealer for price of a new one , I duly did and the price quoted to replace with new including fitting was going to cost in excess of £1700 . As my car is 13 years old I was contemplating with what was the best solution here , and started to search the internet to see if I could reduce this expense.

This was when I found Brians advert on Ebay for reconditioning of the strut bearing at minimal expense , I couldn't believe my luck in finding Brian and Orchard Engineering in Cheltenham offering his service together with Gotheringham Garage who are based next door , after speaking with him and being assured that a repair was possible I booked a date and the services of the local garage to remove the strut for Brian to repair and then refit.

I arrived at the garage at 08.30am and met with Chloe who was so friendly and welcoming and was given keys to a courtesy car so I could drive around the local area ( at no extra cost, on their insurance , and was told to just replace the fuel that you have used... how trusting is that in todays society, the repair was duly carried out and by 12.30pm I was told my car was ready for collection.

On return at the Garage I met with Brian and was so thankful of the service that he offered together with Gotheringham Garage and I will certainly be shouting my praises to them all from the highest rooftop. This really is a Best in Class service at low cost from highly reputable professional people and I would strongly recommend them to all future customers and Lexus RX 450H owners.

BTW Brian is an engineer who would appear to be able to take on any challenge including Aluminium Welding and head skimming services as well as constructing exhausts for racing cars as well as many other engineering services and I wouldn't hesitate to run any query through him first , he really is a top class man and I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to use his services on this occasion.

Best regards

Wonderful service. I had a Lexus RX450h strut top that was shot and needed replacing. Brian sent out replacement, which local garage fitted, and I sent old one back. All worked well, good value and I have a nice quiet drive now. Highly recommend ?
