Reviews are overwhelmingly positive: customers repeatedly praise speedy, honest and trustworthy work, friendly staff, good value and clear communication, with many saying MOTs and services are completed quickly and that they’d happily return or recommend the garage. The few negatives concern external booking glitches via the BookMyGarage service and an occasional oversight (for example forgetting to reset the oil‑service indicator), rather than the quality of repairs.

Frequently asked questions
Some of the problems a diagnostic check can solve include:
• Engine warning light - if the engine warning light appears on your dashboard, it’s important to take your vehicle to a garage as soon as possible as there is a wide variety of problems which the light may be flagging up.
• Strange noises – any strange noises coming from your car need to be checked out before they turn into more serious problems. Some of these sounds may include; whining from the bonnet, abnormally loud exhaust, uneven engine noise, brake squealing or gear crunching.
• Smoke - if you see smoke or steam coming from under the bonnet, your vehicle may be overheating.
• Vibrating - if you notice any vibrating or pulling under your brake, the issue may be due to worn brake discs or pads. However, it could also indicate a problem with your suspension or steering.
When you book an appointment, you get:
• A full report of your vehicle's health
• State-of-the-art diagnostic tools
• Knowledge and advice from an expert mechanic
