Reviews Summary

Many reviewers praise the friendly, helpful staff, quick turnaround and competitive pricing, with several five‑star accounts noting clear updates, same‑day fixes and complimentary refreshments. Weaknesses focus on poor communication and admin — some customers report being given a lesser service than booked, inconsistent charges, and occasional issues like mess left in the footwell or no courtesy car. The garage is generally well regarded for quality and value but needs clearer pricing transparency and tighter booking/hand‑over procedures.
