Customers are overwhelmingly positive, commending friendly, trustworthy staff, good value and speedy, efficient MOTs and services with clear communication. A smaller number report booking or confirmation mix-ups, occasional administrative errors (missing service stamps) and a few serious mistakes — notably a wrong/overfilled oil job and a refusal to carry out a requested service when the engine light was on. Most reviewers recommend the garage and return regularly, though it's sensible to double-check appointment details and paperwork.

Customers are overwhelmingly positive, frequently praising friendly, professional staff, clear communication (video/text summaries), good value and complimentary valets that leave cars clean. A recurring complaint concerns booking and availability — several reviewers report cancelled or unrecorded appointments (often via BookMyGarage), long waits or missed items — and a few mention poor wash quality or small jobs not being completed. Strengths: attentive reception and service teams (Malwina, Ben, Libby and others), efficient workmanship and fair pricing; weaknesses: scheduling reliability and occasional inconsistency on minor requests.

Most customers report very positive experiences, highlighting friendly, helpful staff, high‑quality workmanship, good value and extras such as car cleaning and short inspection videos. Common criticisms centre on inconsistent communication and appointment changes, occasional omissions on major services (spark plugs, fluid top‑ups or software updates) and a few isolated incidents of poor customer handling or minor damage. It’s generally reliable for routine servicing and MOTs, but worth confirming the exact service scope and asking for regular updates before you leave your vehicle.

Most reviewers are positive, praising friendly, helpful staff, quick turnaround and clear updates (including video car health checks), with several saying they'd recommend the garage. Recurring negatives centre on inconsistent communication about drop‑off times and service‑book stamping, and one customer felt pricing/transparency was unfair when a charge wasn’t reduced after some work wasn’t needed.
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.
