Reviews Summary
AI Generated
Customers overwhelmingly praise the garage for friendly, professional staff, fast MOTs and repairs, clear communication and fair prices, with many saying they'll return or recommend it. Common strengths are same‑day fitting, honest workmanship (often much cheaper than main dealers) and a willingness to go the extra mile; the only recurring minor gripe is that it's sometimes hard to get hold of them by phone.

Reviews Summary

Most customers are very positive, praising friendly, helpful staff, quick turnarounds and reliable repairs, with several singling out individuals (Caroline and the service manager) for going above and beyond. Many also mention good value, quality parts and conveniences like MOTs completed while they waited and regular status updates. A minority, however, report poor admin and communication — unexpected pricing or being given an interim instead of a major service, missing paperwork causing long waits and no courtesy car — and one note about a mess left in the passenger footwell.

What Car Service Do I Need?
We recommend booking a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles and a major service every 24 months or 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) to maintain the health and roadworthiness of your vehicle.
If you regularly drive long distances or have a high annual mileage, we recommend booking an interim service at the 6-month interval between annual services to give your car a bit more TLC.
If you’re not sure what service you should book next, enter your reg, mileage details and recent service history below and we’ll recommend the best car service for your needs.
