Most customers praise the garage for friendly, helpful staff, clear communication and good value for MOTs and services, with frequent mention of useful video health checks and prompt updates. But several reviewers report booking mix-ups, inconsistent workmanship (missed jobs, poor cleans, delayed work), unexpected charges and concerning safety reports — one reviewer said a wheel came off — which dent trust. Many would happily return or recommend for routine work, yet recurring complaints about upselling on health checks and reliability mean experiences appear to vary by visit.

Reviews Summary

Customers are largely very positive, repeatedly praising friendly, helpful staff, fast turnarounds, clear communication and good value — many mention quick pick‑up/drop‑off, prompt MOTs/services and a complimentary wash or valet. However, a noticeable minority report serious booking‑management problems (late cancellations, mismatched appointment times) and occasional slapdash car washes or explanations that are hard to follow for non‑mechanics. The garage garners strong recommendations for professionalism and speed, but fixing reliability around bookings and improving customer-facing explanations would remove the main sources of complaints.
