They offer a really honest service: explain cost of service beforehand. They tell you an exact time for drop off and collection. Great service.
Very friendly staff. The gentleman on reception was incredibly helpful, and the staff working on our car were thorough and attentive. Excellent service and would go back. Thank you!

Long wait
Able to book appointments at short notice but unfortunately had a very long wait at the garage (nearly 2 hours) to get tyres fitted. It would be better to show actual availability on the website to avoid sitting around waiting for hours.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. However my appointment was for 11.30am and my tyre was not replaced and completed until 12.45. Therefore I was late for another appointment.

If i could give negative stars i would
If i could give negative stars i would. I was effectively charged £1000.00 for being trusting and called an idiot. They cleaned out my air filters and that it. It failed its M.O.T and was told I'd have to wait 2 weeks for a retest took it else where and checked over there "Work" and nothing was done. And when the other garage called them up to ask what they actually did for me, the guys that did the service and M.O.T didnt spot an issue that was dangerous and charged me for nothing. Then they told the other garage I was being abusive and almost violent towards them, if they thought for a second they'd remember they have CCTV in their reception area. In short they're scam artists and im not the first person they've scammed and im sure i wont be the last.

Saved my Bacon!
The guys helped me out at V. Short notice, by fixing my tyre ( a nail + a screw were in it!) So I could get home with my trailer in tow, 110 miles away.
A short wait and polite + friendly service. Thanks guys

Technician fitted my new battery with great care and skill. I couldn't have managed the same and it ensured that I was able to get on with my day to day arrangements with the minimum of delay.
