Praise centres on friendly, efficient staff, easy online booking, prompt turnaround and good value, with many reviewers calling the garage trustworthy and saying they’ll return. A minority flagged administrative or quality issues — unconfirmed appointment slots, missed service stamps and a few serious errors (wrong/overfilled oil or refusal to carry out work) that incurred extra cost. These complaints are relatively rare compared with numerous five-star reports, so clear communication, reliability and competitive pricing emerge as the garage’s most frequently mentioned strengths.

Customers repeatedly praise friendly, professional staff, clear communication (including video/text summaries), good value and complimentary valets — many describe timely, high-quality work and happily recommend the dealership. However, booking and availability problems recur throughout the reviews: last‑minute rearrangements, cancelled or unrecorded appointments, diary mismatches and some slow turnarounds; there are also occasional missed jobs, inconsistent valeting and pricing/diagnostic errors. Overall the feedback is mostly positive, but the persistent scheduling failures are a noticeable weakness that has driven some customers to go elsewhere.

Customers are broadly positive, frequently praising friendly, professional staff, good workmanship, prompt service and useful updates (including short inspection videos), with several noting fair pricing. Recurring complaints centre on inconsistent extras (car washes/videos not always provided), patchy communication from the call centre or about MOT/minor faults, occasional missed or incomplete major-service items and appointment mix-ups — plus one report of damage and poor manager behaviour. On balance it’s seen as a reliable dealer for routine work, but expect occasional administrative lapses and check specific promises when booking.

Customers generally praise the garage for friendly, helpful staff, fast turnaround and clear updates (several reviews note video car-health checks and five-star treatment). Recurring weaknesses centre on communication and booking administration — difficulty getting through, cancelled or confused bookings, unclear drop‑off times — plus a couple of complaints about pricing transparency when less work was required. On balance the tone leans positive but repeated admin and pricing issues risk undermining customer confidence if not resolved.
An air conditioning system controls the temperature in a car and works in a similar way to a kitchen refrigerator. When the fluid inside such appliances (also called refrigerant) changes from a liquid state to a gas, it cools down. Outside air is blown past the coils in which the gas flows, and is therefore also cooled before it is blown into the car’s cabin. The air con gas then returns to liquid form in the system's compressor, heating it up, but the resulting warm air is directed outside the car.
Air conditioning in a car serves two purposes. It cools down the interior of a car, dramatically so if needed, which improves passenger comfort and prevents the type of heat-related irritability that may lead to an accident. Also, because air conditioners generate air that is less humid than outside air, it can be used to demist a fogged-up windscreen more quickly than when air is blown out of a standard ventilation system. This might also prevent an accident from occurring.
A simple check of the temperature of the air emanating from an air conditioning vent will tell you if the refrigerant needs a recharge - some garages use the term 're-gas'. A warm air temperature would suggest that the refrigerant is low or old. Manufacturers typically recommend a recharge no matter what every couple of years to keep the system running efficiently; this involves topping up or refilling the system with fresh refrigerant. This may be all that is needed, but an efficient air conditioning system also needs to be serviced occasionally. If the refrigerant is replaced but the air conditioning system does not seem to be operating properly, either due to warm air or low system pressure, an air conditioning service will be required.
If the pressure in the air conditioning system is particularly low, there might be a leak. This can be checked during an air conditioning service that manufacturers suggest performing every 3-4 years. As well as a test for leaks and the inspection of refrigerant levels, the condenser, the compressor, the hoses and the drive belts are checked. The service also involves a cleaning to take any contaminants, bacteria or moisture out of the system before any new refrigerant is added, followed by a full recharge. It is important to note that an air conditioning service is not included in routine car services but has to be booked separately. Remember to do so because an inefficient air conditioner places greater demands on a car’s engine and requires more fuel to generate cool air, not to mention that any resident bacteria might cause illness.

How to be a better driver
Whether you’re driving in Stourbridge or further afield, think about road user etiquette. Showing respect for other road users makes driving more pleasant for you and safer for everyone. For example, if you have to make a last minute change of lane, make your request to change clear to the driver who will need to let you in - and signal your thanks if they do. Be ready to abandon the change of lane if they won’t play ball - your safety (and that of other drivers and pedestrians) is more important than getting to your destination in the shortest time possible. When the position is reversed and a driver asks your permission to change lanes, allow them to as long as it is safe. If you get frustrated, avoid using your horn - it won’t improve matters and might make them considerably worse.
