Reviews Summary

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with customers frequently praising fast, efficient work, polite and helpful staff, clear communication and good value—especially for MOTs, oil changes and tyre or diagnostic work. A smaller but recurring set of complaints highlights booking mix‑ups, occasional poor front‑of‑house behaviour and unexpected extra charges (plus an isolated issue with lifting a van), so booking reliability and transparency on additional costs are the main weaknesses.
