Reviews Summary

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with many five‑star ratings and lots of repeat customers recommending the garage. Praise centres on fast turnarounds and same‑day MOTs/repairs, helpful and knowledgeable staff, easy online booking, clear communication and fair pricing (with loan cars sometimes provided). A smaller but notable set of complaints mention missed or cancelled bookings, rude reception or poor communication, unexpected/disputed charges, refusals to do booked work and a few reports of vehicle damage, so billing and consistency can be weaknesses.

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.
