Customers are overwhelmingly positive, repeatedly praising quick, efficient work, friendly and helpful staff, reliable collection/drop‑off, clear communication and generally good value. A minority reported problems — including a few alleged misdiagnoses or suspicious quotes, occasional missed job details (dirty mats, no fluid top‑ups), a late return and one payment‑terminal issue — so while service is usually excellent, quality can be inconsistent for some customers.

Reviews Summary

Customers consistently praise the garage for speedy, friendly service, helpful staff and competitive pricing, with many noting same‑day MOTs, quick turnarounds and straightforward online booking. Recurring complaints focus on inconsistent communication — missed calls, late notifications, occasional no‑shows or long waits — plus a handful of reports about unexpected extra charges and missing paperwork (invoices/service sheets). On balance, most view it as reliable and good value, though tightening up booking and billing communication would address the main weaknesses.

Reviews Summary
AI Generated
Customers are overwhelmingly positive, frequently praising friendly, helpful staff, clear communication (often via video walkthroughs and detailed vehicle health reports), swift turnaround, convenient collection/delivery and very competitive pricing. A recurring drawback is aggressive or questionable repair recommendations and occasional issues with signage, booking mix‑ups, slow pick‑up times or inconsistent attention to detail; a few customers also noted non‑OEM parts being used without clear explanation. Overall the garage earns strong marks for service and value, but it’s sensible to seek a second opinion on any costly work.
