He said: "It's not just a job to me but a passion and something that I love to do.

"I got married in June and I feel like now is the time to create something for myself and provide a legacy for my sons, Ethan and Rohan."

Craig has most recently used his passion to restore his beloved Volkswagen MK2 Golf which he described as being his 'pride and joy'.

Having worked in a variety of garages, Craig explained that he had noticed the long wait times and the struggles people face getting their vehicle to and from a garage.

Realising how 'inconvenient' this can be for people, this inspired him to come up with the idea of creating a garage that can come to the customer.
