Customers are overwhelmingly positive, repeatedly praising friendly, polite staff and clear communication — from easy online booking to timely updates and quick turnarounds for MOTs and servicing. Reviewers also highlight good value, trustworthy advice, quality workmanship and convenience as frequent strengths. A few isolated issues were reported (an oil cap left off, occasional extra charges for specialist parts, limited diagnostic capability at times and one negative experience after a change of ownership), so some customers recommend double‑checking final costs or equipment availability.
