Reviews Summary

Most reviewers praise friendly, helpful staff, clear communication, quick turnaround and good-quality work, with many valuing the video health checks and complimentary wash/vacuum. However, a noticeable minority report poor or confusing communication, cancelled appointments, long waits, unexpected extra charges and higher prices than independents, sometimes leaving customers without a car or feeling misled. The takeaway: the branch generally delivers reliable workmanship and strong customer-facing service for many, but needs greater consistency on timings, pricing transparency and fulfilment of promised extras.
