About
Andy’s the sort of bloke who doesn’t shout about what he knows - but when he talks, people tend to listen.
With decades of experience in the repair trade (and plenty of scars to show for it), he’s seen every bump, bash and bodge-job there is. He built Foxhills Body Shop from the ground up — not with glossy brochures or buzzwords - but with graft, straight answers, and a steady hand on the tiller.
These days, Andy doesn’t write much - but when there’s a thorny question, a meaty topic, or a bit of myth-busting needed, he’s the one we wheel out.
Expect proper answers. Plain English. And if he’s not around? He’s probably out in the sticks, stalking something with a scope and a flask of tea.
