Reviews Summary

Customers consistently praise this garage for its friendly, professional staff, clear communication and competitive pricing across a wide range of work including MOTs, services and air conditioning regassing. The vast majority of reviewers highlight how promptly jobs are completed and how well they are kept informed throughout, with many noting they will return as loyal customers. A very small number of reviewers mentioned minor administrative points, such as invoices potentially benefiting from itemised parts costs and the occasional pricing discrepancy at the point of payment, but these are isolated observations that do little to detract from an overwhelmingly positive reputation.

Thank you for your feedback. We can confirm that everything included in the Full Service was carried out, and all the work completed was listed on your invoice. The measurements you mention, such as tyre tread depth, CO percentage and coolant density, are not routinely recorded on our invoices unless there is a specific issue or they require attention. The invoice therefore provides a record of the service items that were completed. We appreciate your comments and hope this clarifies the matter.

Customers consistently praise this garage for its friendly, trustworthy staff and efficient service, with many highlighting excellent value for money and the willingness to accommodate last-minute bookings.
