Owner of MNJ Autocare & Woodend MOT Ltd. Fiery redhead with a love of anything automotive. 26 years in the motor trade & love it. I’m that lass off YouTube. 💙
PREVIEW ….
Classic car tuning day.
Look at the beauties we had the pleasure of welcoming on site.
Full video live tomorrow on my YouTube channel 🩵
What time do you want it to go live ??
A rare beast .. This was finally returned to owner yesterday. It’s been on site for some time. A chap in unit next door has rebuilt & painted it. It arrived in boxes of bits with a new interior. A nightmare jigsaw that you have to colour in !!! Well done to Symon 👏🏻

Update - Thank you so much to the people who have donated so far. It means a lot.

After numerous requests I’ve created a Go Fund Me page for Craig & Nikki.
Please help to raise funds to support them. Hopefully to get justice but also to keep them safe whilst we fight to protect them.
@NWPolice
this is not going away.
We are only…
Yesterday a 999 call was made for me. Unfortunately I have suffered a mini stroke. I am feeling extremely exhausted & mentally drained. I am also forbidden to drive for at least a month. I am absolutely devastated. Anyone due to meet me tomorrow. I have no option but to cancel 😢
Just because a car is MOT exempt - doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have it tested or at least inspected to ensure that your Classic is safe & roadworthy. Betty Blue was green this morning, flying through her emissions test. Save the Classics.

Due to recent happenings, I have not had the pleasure of introducing this wonderful man to you. He is part of our team & also a dear friend. Ex military & motor trade. He has cracked on with Igor for me in my absence. This is Errol, he’s 81, he’s truly amazing & we adore him 🫶🏻
In 24 years of being in the motor trade I’ve seen some shit but today I was speechless, whilst enraged & sickened. This shit is on the road with innocent people 🤬 These are just a few .... 😤
Everything is hurting & I mean everything … can’t stand up straight or walk without looking like I shat myself but doesn’t it look bloody amazing ??? Anyone coming on site, it needs until Thursday to dry. So hold off if possible until then please.
#exhausted
what Easter break?
@classiccarguru1
Explain your situation to the police.
The hospital will have to give them the info for the welfare check.
She’s elderly & has dementia & is currently missing ….. Good enough reason to call the police I’d say.
Good luck & hope all is ok
We made it …. after delays with the lease, two minor strokes, all staff suffering illness with Covid at the same time. Few obstacles 🤨 I am blessed to have such amazing support & the most dedicated hardworking loyal team.

Update from Craig ….
This is a very difficult time & this video shows that.
Please understand the impact this is having on Craig & Nikki. They have suffered in silence for almost 2 years & now they have no choice but to share what has, & is still ruining their lives.
The Go…
Next week it will be 12 months that I created ‘Auto Lass’ & had my first meeting with

Thank you for your support 🫶🏻 🥰
Betty Blue is out & is now being used as my daily while the weather is better. It’s been great to see everyone waving & tooting. She’s getting a lot of love & attention at work from our customers too.

An extra special journey to work in Betty this morning. We found this little beauty on the way ….
Unusual to see two classics out at 6.30am but that happened today. Thanks to everyone who waved 👋🏻

A massive thank you to

This happened today …🥰 One of my parts delivery girls is a big Tim Shaw / Car SOS fan. Tim text to say he was calling in …. Arranged for Shennie to attend & meet Tim. She’s ace !!!
Thanks Tim & GSF for letting Shen pop over 🥰
Hi everyone, after my medical emergency last week, I just wanted to touch base. I’m doing OK ish but wanted to thank you all personally for being so amazing. I will have my big girl pants back on soon & will be back at it asap. Take care & big love 💕
Had this 97 Rover in today. Only advisory on MOT was a CV Boot deteriorated. Apprentice John was only 7 when this was registered … bless. The oldest car he’s worked on so far.
@ThePollitt
thought you would appreciate this brum brum 🚗
56 plate Ford. Only done 26,000 miles but is still on original tyres. Date of tyres is 26th week of 2006. They are goosed. Don’t just check the tread depth, check the condition too.

Not the update I was expecting to be writing - Unfortunately I have suffered another minor stroke. (This is why I have not been available, to the people who have been trying to contact me.) I am more than upset & fed up right now BUT “I may be down but I am not out”.

ANNOUNCEMENT- This is what has been going on in the background. I will be the proud owner of
@WoodendMOT
from 1st April. I have LOTS of plans. The official open day is Tuesday 11th April which will give me Easter weekend to make a lot of changes & ‘Jody’ the site. 1/2
ANNOUNCEMENT
After 55 years working in the motor trade and 14 years at Woodend MOT Centre, Andy has decided to retire
Jody
@Auto_Lass
will be the new owner from 1st April
Andy & team will still be working so no real change in staff but lots of other improvements on the way 1/2
Shame all diesels don’t tell you when it’s doing a Regen …. Would save a lot of nonsense. This is my truck & it is great, but now after a 14 hour day at work I’m having to sit outside my house & allow it to finish its cycle. It picks it’s times & they’re usually shite !!!…
Customer called today saying she could smell petrol in the car. Being a 68 plate Peugeot 5008 I wasn’t expecting to find a huge issue but it had a massive leak & was a huge fire risk as fuel was leaking onto the exhaust. Not a recall but parts on back order with no stock date 😧
As you probably know I’ve been a bit of an emotional wreck today.
But is it any wonder when the wonderful couple who have been baking for us whilst we’ve been building MG Marshall arrive on site ‘on the live draw day’ with this beautiful creation ?? Thank you so much…
Just seen this on the MOT testers page & wanted to share so you can see some of the faults, repairs & defects that are presented to us 🙈 This is a new one on me !!!
Failed a car yesterday. Excessive brake bind which had also worn the pad down to below 1.5mm. It came back today for retest .... they’d changed the 1 side 😳 - who does that ??? 😠
ITS DONE ✅ What a day! As of tomorrow at 12.00 noon I will be the proud owner of
@WoodendMOT
- It’s not sunk in yet. Think I may collapse in a heap when it does. What an emotional, expensive & stressful experience. But cannot wait to get cracking. Thank you for your support💙
So this has happened this afternoon. I HAVE A LEASE !!! Just a solicitor needed to witness signing & we are done. Tomorrow … it all begins. There’s lots to do & we are quite far behind due to the delays BUT onwards & upwards. Yeeehaaaarrr !! I’m one happy lass 👩🔧 Let’s do it
Hi, I’m looking for feedback please. How many of you work on your own cars or do you have a project car? Do you own a classic car? Would you have a go at light maintenance? Would you be interested in cheaper supplies & products for car restoration / maintenance? Thanks…. 👀
Filming today. There is something new coming to the channel & the winner of the Christmas Giveaway, the Vident Scan Tool will be within the content - so stay tuned for the next video … Coming real soon !!! 😘
Calling my celeb friends & fellow classic car lovers …
We have less than 2 weeks before the draw for MG Marshall. I would love to raise as much money as possible for our veterans & their families. All the proceeds of this build are going to

@sarahcrabtreee

Just had a message from work that I have had a delivery. I’m still very emotional since my health took a hit on Friday. So this thoughtful gesture made me burst into tears again - Happy tears. Thank you so much
@sykespickavant
I’m very grateful & touched by your kindness 🥹
How bloody awesome is this ??? I was informed a mini Auto Lass was being created. Lee you’ve got it absolutely perfect, I love it. 🤩 Thanks matey… you’ve made my day. 🥰
My mum has the all clear !!! Non invasive tumours & with the double mastectomy there is no trace of the cancer …. Thank goodness.
#loveyoumum
🥰 Fantastic news 😁
To you all …. The last few months have been a great journey, thanks to you guys 😘 I am so grateful to each & every one of you. Merry Christmas & please join me with a ‘CHEERS’ 🥂 - Big Love Guys 🥰
Got to say that I am so far very impressed with Tameside Hospital. After discharge this weekend, I received my phone consultation with my stroke consultant at lunch time today who has upped my meds & my first 1 of 4 appointments has already been made. They’re on it 🫡 💪🏻
Betty has her new coat on thanks to Craig
@Barclaysauto
She looks amazing. These pictures don’t do her justice & I can’t take her outdoors just yet. So will get some better photos at weekend. Amazing job Craig, thank you.

Shaping up to be a busy Sunday in the Auto Lass workshop. Filming today - inc winner chosen for the spanner set & new giveaway announced & of course these stunning classic Fords 🥰 Stay tuned 😘
Competition time. Get your Christmas Jumper on & post your pictures below. If you can have your motor in the pic too, then even better. Each person to post a Christmas jumper pic will get a free entry into the Xmas giveaway & it’s an absolute belter !! 🎄🎅🏻🚙📸 …. GO 🟢
Start to my day. Unfollow a rude, bigheaded, opinionated prick. None of his comments are directed my way but what a big cloud of negative shit his offensive tweets bring. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it. Feeling better already.

Trouble with a capital T visited today. Tim’s first visit since the move over to the new gaff. Huge thumbs up from him & get the feeling we will be seeing a lot more of him.

Customer took me out on a test drive today so he could show me what his van was doing .... As we climbed the hill, It backfired & the exhaust exploded 💥 Poor guy walking his dog soiled himself 🤣 Eventful test drive !!! 🙈 I’ve got belly ache from laughing 😂
Ouuussshhhh 🥰 So Betty has had a little TLC. If you have seen me flying about today, just a few test drives on the local country roads to ensure she is a filthy but well behaved gorgeous girl. She has been a little neglected due to recent commitments. Love this girl 🚙💙
1st time out yesterday & doesn’t MG Marshall look fantastic.
All seems good, just wheel alignment & a longer run to ensure Marshall is ready to go to his new home & owner
@andyps1275
We are going to miss him ….
Just ticked over 3K subs. Not bad considering I only started doing the videos properly when I purchased Betty which is 4 months ago. Im

After a 14 hour day, look & listen to Marshall, he’s done & he’s perfect !!!
A better more detailed video will be posted tomorrow … I’m tired & it shows.
Live draw on Saturday !!!
If you’ve purchased tickets today, I am about to start sending them out now. Keep a check on…
Just having a cuppa with Desktop Dave, my 3D printed lamp. He’s cool ay? Finishing off filming now & I have to say Betty is looking bloody amazing. 🚙💙

@JeremyClarkson
This journalist / newspaper is exactly what is wrong with the world. Full of drama, exaggeration & utter bullshit. So when there is something very serious “the pandemic” people dismiss it as something very minor. Hence why we have so many covidiots !!!

Update coming soon ….
But what I can tell you is that we are making a difference. We are being noticed & listened too.
So let’s keep it going, we are getting there.
Thank you for your support so far.
Craig & Nikki are very overwhelmed right now. After keeping such suffering…
Can’t beat a bit of cheek. Eyeballed this clip board whilst on the van. Remarked how ace it would be as my MOT board. It’s now mine
#freebie
Then discovered that I’d also been treated to this 100yr anniversary No7 Ratchet. I’m one lucky Snap On Lass. 😍🥰
Although slightly pissed off that I’d had the wrong filter delivered, I couldn’t be angry with my suppliers when he put this on the paperwork 🤣 made me chuckle 🤭
#bless
Check it out !!! Loving my new Snap On screwy. The wording on top made me 🤭 No wonder I couldn’t undo those phillips on that air box 🤦♀️😜 New ornament for the workshop 🤩
