Most customers praise the garage for friendly, professional staff, clear communication, quick turnarounds, courtesy cars and good value, with many noting regular updates and a clean car on return. A recurring downside is unreliable booking/collection handling—several people experienced missing or cancelled appointments (often when booked via Book My Garage), plus occasional reception chaos, perceived upselling and a few service mistakes. The garage will sometimes rectify problems free of charge, but booking reliability and clearer, more transparent advice on additional repairs are the main areas for improvement.
