Reviews Summary

Customers mostly leave positive feedback, praising punctual, courteous and tidy mechanics who phone ahead, communicate by email and complete efficient on‑driveway services—many say it’s quicker and cheaper than dealer visits. However, a handful report unreliable no‑shows with poor rescheduling communication, and one reviewer felt routine jobs (eg an oil change) were overpriced.

Reviews Summary
AI Generated
Most reviewers praise the garage for prompt, efficient MOTs and servicing, clear updates by text/email (and even video), friendly staff, convenient collection/drop‑off and good valeting. Common complaints concern poor phone/reception response and booking mix‑ups, occasional unexpectedly high repair quotes or pricing disagreements, and a few reports of vehicle damage or untidy returns. In short, it’s regarded as reliable for routine work and customer care, but inconsistent communication and price/transparency issues make some customers reluctant to return.
