"Thank you" to Hertford Tyres doesn't
even begin to cover it
I bought some new parts to modify the appearance
of the front of my car. Long story short, I couldn't make the parts fit
due to the fact that my S/C intercooler was in the way.
I was due to go down to Hertford Tyres today anyway, to help another
member with an American mustang with a pulley swap on the engine as i
have the special tools required to do the job, So I took my car along so
that Dave could check my headlamp alignment in his MOT bay. (Just fitted
new Angel Eyes) Dave suggested I bring the bits with me to see if we
could make it work.
Well, I cannot even begin to describe the lengths he went to to make it
happen. The parts must've gone in and out a hundred times, all the while
making slight modifications that involved welding, grinding, adjusting,
bending. Honestly, that man has the patience (and tenacity) of a saint!
He just would not give up on it. There were several times when I said
let's just leave it, it's just too much trouble, but he was absolutely
convinced that he would get it sorted. And d'you know what? He did!
Dave, thank you so much. For your time, your patience, the use of your
workshop and facilities and everything else you did today, including
staying at work until nearly 8:00 pm. You are an absolute Rockstar and
Chip Foose has got nothing on you when it comes to doing whatever it
takes to get the job done.
Suffice it to say, I
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It has totally transformed the look of the car and I
am so glad that Dave talked me into persevering with it.
The truth of it is, if all the members of these forums who own mustangs
knew about half the things that Dave does just to help out a fellow
'Mustang' owners, I can't imagine any of you would go anywhere else!
I have never met anyone who is so willing to help out if you have a
problem or something that needs doing. Whether it is just advice,
mechanical help, sourcing parts, fitting parts and anything else related
to modding or maintaining these cars. Even to the point of offering to
work late or open specially at weekends if that is the only time you can
get there.
My car is my pride & joy. Nobody touches it. I will do most things
myself, but if there is anything I can't do, HTE is the only place I
will consider taking it to.
Andy.
Thank you Hertford Tyres
Dave was the only person that I allowed to take
my car away for several weeks to do stuff on it. He even personally drove
miles out of his way to collect and bring back. And thanks to Dave the
colour of my car is really shining. I did not worry at all about the car
while it was gone as I knew he would take care of my pride and joy. I
take pride in keeping my car clean now Dave has spent hours cleaning her
I would recommend Dave to everyone, as a person Dave and his team go
above and beyond customers expectations!
Dave always goes above and beyond to help out.
There is no one else to go to if you own a Mustang, or any car to be honest!!
Straight as an arrow is our Dave.
There are not many genuine people about these day's, but Dave sure is one of
them..
Having people like Dave involved in our hobby makes it
so more enjoyable, your help is much appreciated Dave,
whether it be advice or the time you took to explain
all the things to look out for and check when buying an S197 mustang when we
were at the 'RUMBLEFEST' show
Thankyou

Sorry its
taken a while to post this, but would just like to thank Dave and the guys at
his garage for the service they carried out on my car over the weekend. Provided
a top rate service for a VERY cheap price! Not only that but they even let me
poke around the car while it was up on the ramp and pester them asking question
after question! 
Will definitely be going back and am now contemplating what to do next after all
the suggestions they provided! 
thanks again mate!
Exhaust sorted - thanks Dave HTE
Well
having owned the car since August last year the exhaust has been blowing at the
manifold since day one and despite numerous attempts by various people, it has
continued to blow, that is until today.
I nipped over to Dave at
Hertford
Tyres
and Exhausts and he spent a good few hours grinding various welds that were
holding the exhaust in the wrong position and then refitted the whole thing and
welded where it should have been in the first place.
I handed over the folding (not very much it has to be said) and got my car back
and am now proud to say it has got Flow masters and it sounds like it should!!!
Best thing about going to Dave was that I had to drive the Hatfield Tunnel on
the way home, and just to make sure all was well I did a quick turnaround and
made another pass (or two) sad but true, and great fun.

I had a
Service & MOT at Gill & Dave's Garage (Hertford Tyre & Exhaust) .
To let you know that after 4yrs , 2005 V8 Mustang GT, is in good nick .
All signs are that they are well designed & built .
The car has done less than 19,000 miles but qualified for the 45,000 mile
service on age .
service + M O T + Air con inspection +Brake fluid change using DOT5.1 fluid , .
So we're all set for another 19,000 miles .
Thanks Gill & Dave
Martin .
Just been to see Dave to have car tracked after fitting lower
springs, that's a nice piece of kit,
The last time I had a car tracked they had mirrors and
pointers!!
Coffees not bad either

Just back from Dave at Hertford Tyres.
I am pleased to say Dave and his mechanics delivered a fantastic service.
He made sure he kept the ramp free for me all day to sort my brakes out. The
service even included a meal.
2nd MOT passed too.
And the cost was unbelievable (Dave must have forgotten a zero)
Thank you again Dave.

I had
my 1st service on Saturday, at Hertford Tyres...
...Dave came in on his day off to do it for me!
Whist there I also got DOT 5.1 brake fluid and E B C "Yellow Stuff" front pads -
which I highly recommend by the way - the brakes feel more "progressive" now,
and stop harder than before when needed. Not fully "run in" yet though.
Dave even found the time to fix a couple of annoyances too, like a wobbly side
repeater and the most recent (and massively annoying) dash rattle. That was
worth the trip alone!
Even though it was a 220 mile round trip, I had a great day, got all the jobs
done, at a great price too!
Things I wasn't expecting, but made the day better - seeing Dave struggling with
his side scoops  ,
meeting Mini Mustang Mad  ,
and seeing the 1958 (?) Chevy Impala snapping it's own suspension when brake
testing for MOT  ,
oh and the bacon baguette too!
All in all, if you need it sorted, go see Dave. 
Satisfying conclusion to bad braking issues
Well I now have 4 working brakes, big thanks to Dave from hertfordtyres.
He stripped them down, and serviced the callipers.
Replaced the brake discs and pads and corrected the dodgy handbrake.
He even gave it a new shiny MOT.
BIG BIG thanks Dave for sorting the car, I didn't realise it could stop so fast.
Also I would recommend Dave and his work, very knowledgeable on the mechanics of
the car and very reasonable on the wallet.
He also showed great patience when explaining what he was doing and what was
wrong with the car.
I recommend his work to anybody who has Mustang issues or even a normal car that
needs looking after for servicing MOT's or just repair's.

I decided
that after four years of ownership my Vert was in need of some serious tlc.
Cue weeks of scouring
the forums for info and getting up to date with what's happening in the land of
the S197.
And then I saw the
special offer service from Dave's Hertford Tyres and Exhausts. Always with an
eye for a bargain I booked the car in the same day. Well, after the 260 mile
round trip, all I can say is that is the best money I have ever spent.
Joking aside, what started as a purchase for some new indicator lenses morphed
into a full service and all I can say is what fantastic service. Dave is a top
top guy and will really look after you without lifting your leg. I basically
went for the full monty, brake fluid change, air con charged etc etc and for
once the service work had a noticeable effect on the car e.g. I froze my nu***
off and the brake pedal feel is night and day now, I even think my mpg's getting
better. That can't be true can it?
Dave even had time to properly align my Muff Diver exhausts which had been
fitted, at considerable expense I might add, by another respected mustang garage
who had made a right pigs ear of the fitment resulting in, from behind, a cross
eyed squint. The trip was worth getting that fixed alone!!! Anyone else here who
could have lived with that for two years?? I hang my head in shame.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Pete aka Jainser who turned up with his
stunning Bullit, pictures do not do these cars justice and Pete's replete with
20" Bullits was gorgeous. For the first time in a long time, I think since
Trevor Jenkins from next door got the Captain Scarlett SPV vehicle for Xmas, I
had pangs of envy. Lovely, lovely car.
Oh, I almost forgot, included was a special trip in Dave's Mustang. For this I
recommend rubber pants with industrial strength elastic, I did not know Mustangs
can be made to go this fast and handle so well. Truly awesome!!
Happy Customer
Just had my 15,000 mile service done courtesey of Dave
at Hertford Tyres. All I can say is that the service was fantastic.
First off it was a great pleasure to finally meet the legend himself. Dave had
been kind enough to offer me a lot of advice when it came to purchasing my
Mustang, not to mention on the day of purchasing the mustang I must have
called him up a few times to get advice on what to look for. He was more than
willing to help. So the least i could do was return the favor and pop down to
Hertford Tyres for a service. Well I got there for 10.30 and pretty much spent
five hours chatting to Dave about Mustangs and cars in general whilst he
serviced the car. It was great, I was getting good advice not to mention it
was a great to hear from Dave that my Mustang was very clean with no issues.
He had spotted a problem with front break pads whilst on the test drive, on
closer inspection one of them had seized up, but wasn't a problem for Dave and
he promptly manage to resolve the issue but advised to get some EBC Yellow
brake pads and get them fitted sometime in the future. He also filled my tires
with Nitrogen 
didn't realise the difference it makes but now I'm converted.
I also had the privilege of going out in Dave's silver V6 BEAST!!!! OMG its
quick, I nearly had to change my underpants 
All in all it was a great day out, I got a great service, and left Hertford
Tyres with my Mustang performing better than it did before and a smile on my
face.
Dave
at Hertford Tyre and Exhaust went out of his way to explain and demonstrate
things with regards to my service and repair. Friendly, helpful and
honest.
Knight of the road - Dave came upon my car
with a flat tyre. He changed the wheel and then would not accept any payment. I
subsequently bought 4 new tyres and an oil change from his garage and had
excellent service.
I went to this garage for
second opinion after being told by another garage during servicing my car that I
needed new brake disc's and pads. I regret not having the service done at
Hertford Tyre and Exhaust. They were very helpful and the staff are genuine.
They gave me free brake inspection and greased my wheel bearings which the other
garage had not done. They spent time explaining various things to do with my car
to me which I found very useful.
I was recommended by a friend
and I would definitely recommend others, the service was excellent and my car
looks differently good after service.
