Spillage

By Dave Cornford

Introducing Advanced Smash Repairs.

Spillage is the first tale in a quirky six-part series about a smash repair business that knows too much.

Craig runs a small workshop, and with the help of his staff – lead mechanic Pavel, apprentice Clint and the enigmatic test driver Boris – he fixes cars in unconventional ways, and in the process ends up solving a few mysteries along the way.

A damaged and mysterious BMW and an over-enthusiastic ex-customer challenge Craig’s patience and skill in a tough week at Advanced Smash Repairs

"Spillage was a great short read with excellent, believable characters."
"A brave change of pace that just . . . worked. And worked well."
"The smell of oil, grease and fun from the cars and the garage workshop got me hooked. A great read."
