Customers are overwhelmingly positive about Elite Garages Shaftesbury, repeatedly praising friendly, professional staff, quick and efficient MOTs and good value for money. Reviewers often mention helpful communication, honesty and a convenient town‑centre location with easy parking, and many say they will return or recommend the garage. The main criticisms relate to third‑party online booking and contact issues—several people reported misplaced bookings, an unexpected higher charge and missed callbacks—so booking direct and tightening booking/phone communications would resolve most negatives.
