The Advertiser wants to pimp your ride with £500 worth of auto services up for grabs

Dec 3 2009 by Gemma Jaleel, Ormskirk Advertiser

IS your car in need of some TLC? Could it do with a lick of paint?

Well the Advertiser wants to Pimp Your Ride!

We have teamed up with auto-body specialist Jon Unwin of Base Design in Mawdesley and we want to offer you a special Christmas gift.

Jon, 33, from Ormskirk, has been working with cars for over ten years and studied a motor-sport engineering degree at Myerscough College.

“For my thesis I built my own rally car and I did rally driving all over the country for about five years.

“After that I learned about auto body, repair and styling and started my own business.”

Jon, a former Ormskirk Grammar School pupil, has now opened his own garage at premises on Town Gate Works Industrial Estate on Dark Lane.

“We’re working on a lot of Japanese imports like the Fast and the Furious cars. My team of lads are all fully qualified motor sport engineers and have a lot of passion and fresh ideas.”

For more information call Jon on 01695-579477.

Jon and his team are offering two lucky Advertiser readers £250 worth of their services, which could include alloy wheel refurbishments, body styling or repair or in-car sound and vision fitting.
