"Since the formation of Barkaways last year, Ian and his team are now looking after three of our cars which is quite a challenge as I know I am not an easy customer to please. My benchmark is set right at the top of the scale and I am not prepared to compromise! Ian and the team have more than met the challenge producing the very highest standards of work and service."
Nigel and Sarah
"I’m so grateful to you for not only restoring my car but also restoring my faith in human nature."
Mick
"Highly approachable, friendly staff. Highest attention to detail that I have experienced. No problem is too big or too small to provide assistance. Prices are also competitive."
Phil
"The work was carried out to the highest possible standards, we were kept informed at every stage. Which is unusual in the classic car world! The really pleasant part was that your initial estimate was not exceeded and there were no shock additions."
Ian
"I wish Barkaways had started years ago!
I entrusted them with my F40 and 288 GTO. I cannot speak highly enough of them for the quality of work, attention to detail, knowledge of the marque and open and honest atmosphere within the entire organisation. There is even a bacon butty van just down the road!"
John
"I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you, and your team. From start to finish your professionalism has been outstanding."
Mark
"You have really sorted this car to absolute perfection which inspires my usual confidence in driving the car knowing it has the Barkaways engineering and attention to detail behind it."
John
"When I first came to see you I was so impressed not just by your enthusiasm and perfectionism (and lovely hospitality) but by chatting with your loyal and interesting customers who were clearly devoted to you."
Roger
"From the moment we arrived to the minute we left you all made sure that we were all looked after and taken good care of."
Mark
"Ian's knowledge and enthusiasm for Ferrari is fantastic. Having worked on my car most recently, he explained in detail what needed to be done and also just as important what didn't."
Paul
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the excellent service from all the team in getting my 308 up to scratch. The car is now running beautifully and I'm looking forward to many years of enjoying the car. It's great to know you guys are there to look after my it."
Mark
"E-Type was out a lot of yesterday and again this morning and it just runs fab now. You were right when you said it’s like a different car."
Steve
"The car looked and drove superbly. I'm really pleased with the car now"
Jon
"On the drive home it didn't take long to realise it drives like a totally different car. The difference is extraordinary, it pulls so cleanly, is far torquier and the handling, what a transformation! It's now so nice to drive."
Stephen
"The car ran superbly well on the way back home on Saturday. The engine performed brilliantly and replacing the HT leads and overhauling the distributors was clearly well worth doing as I don’t remember it pulling so hard since the car was new some thirty years ago now. It was a real pleasure to see all the nice new shiny bits in the engine bay too and your fastidious attention to detail is very reassuring."
Paul
"The newly painted front bumper and retrimmed parcel shelf are a perfect colour match."
Lewis
"I would like to thank Ian and his great team. Having just bought my 308 from the USA, and with no service done in 23 years, the Barkaway family turned the car around in just a few weeks."
Phil
"I must say, it’s the little details that makes coming to Barkaways such a pleasure."
Stephen
"I would just like to thank you for transforming both of my cars. The attention to detail and constant communication has been of the highest level and more than expected."
Neil and Lauren
"I have to say I was blown away with the progress you have made with my Dino"
Andy
"I recently had my 348 engine overhauled by Barkaways and the attention to detail was amazing. On top of their quality of workmanship they also excelled themselves in customer service. Well done Barkaways and thank you."
James
"Many thanks to you all again for your care and attention and customer focus."
Craig
"It is great to have the car in such good shape... and finally to enjoy it for what it is."
Nicholas
"I have been dealing with Barkaways for a year and am very impressed with everyones kind and friendly attitude. Your attention to detail is nothing short of admirable. Keep up the good work and go from strength to strength."
Mark
"Congratulations to all at Barkaways for helping me to win the Ferrari Owners Club 'Best of Show' with my Ferrari 575 Super America."
Nigel
"The attention to detail is what makes Barkaways stand out. Always giving time to clients, the staff all have the same attitude."
Paul
"I’m really excited about that car and love the way you guys work."
Mark
"Just a quick note to say thanks for selling the 308 GT4 to me. The car is exactly as you described it to me. In fact, it is actually a lot better!"
