Reviews Summary

Customers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and smooth, hassle-free booking process, with many highlighting good value pricing and honest, reliable service compared to main dealers. One reviewer felt let down by an unusually high repair quote following an MOT and a dismissive attitude from staff, so it may be worth ensuring pricing is explained clearly and consistently for all customers. Overall, though, feedback remains overwhelmingly positive, with several customers returning repeatedly and recommending the garage to others.

Reply from Hypermotive

I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the service received. I'd like to point out a couple of facts in our defence. Your appointment was booked for 0900 and you arrived 40 minutes late without explanation or apology. Saturday MOTs are very busy and book up quickly. We moved others around so that we could accommodate you. Your car failed on brakes and a CV Boot being insecure, when I quoted for the repairs I explained that I quoted for replacement rear brakes and a new CV Boot, as without inspecting the rear brakes it would be difficult to know exactly what was needed. The car returned for a retest and no new parts had been fitted. On re assessment the front brakes now also had a big imbalance as did the rear but because all brakes locked it passed, not to say was it repaired well.

Customers consistently praise this garage for its friendly, efficient staff, clear communication about repairs and pricing, and honest, no-pressure advice, with many long-term customers returning for MOTs, servicing and repairs. A small number of reviewers felt the value for money could be better or experienced poor communication and slow responses when issues arose, and one or two mentioned front-desk manner could be warmer, but these appear to be occasional exceptions rather than a common pattern. Overall, the strong majority describe a trustworthy, well-run garage offering quick turnarounds and fair pricing.
