Customers are overwhelmingly positive about Targa Florio, with most reviews giving five stars for professional, friendly and knowledgeable service. Frequent strengths mentioned are quick turnaround (including last‑minute and Saturday bookings), fair and transparent pricing, helpful communication, collection/delivery options and technicians who diagnose and fix tricky faults. A minority report a very poor experience — notably one claim of unjustified MOT failures and post‑service handling issues — so occasional lapses have been reported.
Bournemouth’s daily driving centres on the A338 Wessex Way, the dual‑carriageway that funnels commuters between the seafront and the A31 - great when it flows, but any disruption quickly ripples through town. With busy residential streets and student traffic between Talbot Campus and Charminster shaping peak‑time patterns and weekend matchdays at the Vitality Stadium in King’s Park pinching local routes, keeping on top of your servicing needs makes a tangible difference to stress‑free driving.
