Customers are overwhelmingly positive, praising friendly, efficient staff, quick check‑ins, good communication and a convenient key‑drop system, with repeat visits and prompt repairs highlighted. The main weakness noted is valeting — one reviewer described a poor wash and incomplete hoovering, suggesting final cleanliness can be inconsistent. High scores and returning customers indicate strong trust in MOTs and repairs, but better attention to the finish would lift the overall experience.

Customers are largely positive, praising friendly, helpful staff, easy online booking and good communication, with many noting quick turnaround, clear video explanations and complimentary valeting. A minority reported problems: late or missing notifications, incomplete repairs that needed returning to a main dealer, and at least one instance where vans were later refused for MOT after being booked.
