Most customers praise the garage’s easy online booking, key‑drop lockers, helpful video updates and good value, often mentioning quick turnarounds and clear messaging. A common complaint is the impersonal, automated system—customers report poor phone availability, too many texts and occasional delays or workmanship/billing issues, with a few serious negative experiences. The garage is generally viewed as convenient and trustworthy, but improving phone responsiveness and restoring more human contact would address the main concerns.
