Reviews Summary
AI Generated
Praise is near‑universal: customers repeatedly commend the friendly, professional team (many mention Liam by name), clear communication and transparent, fair pricing. Frequent strengths are quick, reliable MOTs and servicing, honest advice with no hard‑sell, good value compared with main dealers, and flexibility to handle same‑day or short‑notice work. Negative comments are rare — a few note minor issues like a tricky entrance or lower ratings — but there is one serious complaint about spark‑plug work allegedly causing a breakdown; overall such problems appear to be exceptions.
