   I used them in April 2025 for welding to my 20 year old 2005 Corsa Twin-port for MOT. Excellent service and price. Unfortunately the old car had a clutch failure which was going to cost in excess of £700 so it had to go to the Scrapyard in the sky. So I bought another car which is 2010 Corsa Sxi. lot of rumbling from front end, suspect drive shafts. Thinking maybe £300 plus. Took it in this morning. Turned out it was a loose wheel. They sorted and checked out the car. Minimal cost. Brilliant !!!!!

   Highly recommend this garage! Super friendly team, helpful and hard working. good price for what you get, communicative, fair and quick service. James and his team literally saved my bacon this summer and noticed something other garages had overlooked... I brought my van to the branch in Morningside with a rattling and diagnosis other garages that the van needed the whole clutch and dualmass flywheel (DMF) replaced - extremely costly and time consuming. As I had already booked my holidays, I was in a complete pickel, not wanting to drive across Europe with a loose flywheel but not able to afford or wait around for the replacement kit at that time. James and the guys were amazing - and got me immediately booked in to get the van checked over and ordered in the parts incase they were needed. However, James recommended his mechanics take a quick look over things first to see if it was actually the flywheel that was causing the rattling ( as he suspected it could be caused by another of 2 things, and would rather get to the source of the issue and deal with it properly than blindly trust a quick diagnosis, have the kit installed but the van drives away with a rattling still). After a quick look over the van, the mechanic called me up an hour or so after I'd dropped it off with some amazing news as it turned out the clutch and DMF were all sound and the source of rattling was, as James had suspected due only to a loose heat shield - a much quicker and cheaper fix than Id ever hoped to be possible! I am so grateful to James for recommending I get the van checked again and not to just go straight in and replace the DMF as it saved me hundreds and meant I could happily bring my van along on holiday with peace of mind! I've had quite a few bad experiences with garages over the years including being overcharged or given completely inaccurate quotes, treated with sexist behaviour as some mechanics would only talk to my partner even when answering my questions, shabby fixes or missidentified problems and so on. So it was with such joy that I found this garage where I experienced only excellent custom and vehicle service! Everyone at the garage was very helpful and communicative throughout the whole process, and would happily and clearly explain all the steps in laymen's terms so I could make an informed decision. It's clear that this garage is about real value for money and customer care! My van and I felt so looked after, and this will definitely be my first choice garage to call with any future van issues. 100% recommend them! Thanks again to the team out in Corstorphine!

   A great local garage in the heart of Morningside. Ive been taking my car there 10 years or more for service, MOT, and repairs. Recently my car was undriveable due to broken suspension. They arranged for it to be recovered, then repaired with new suspension spring and two new front tyres.

   I'm always apprehensive about garages, how I'm going to be treated, will I be taken advantage of, etc... But hands down, one of the best garages I've ever gone to. Super friendly, really helpful, took the time to explain (and kept me updated), actually listened to me, and fixed the issue in one day! Truly made my day, a weight off my mind, and couldn't be happier. Will make this my go-to garage I think! Thank you all :)

   Needed the tube switched in my old Austin Somerset tyre and the guys at Keith Elgin sorted me out in a heartbeat. No problems and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend this great local garage, I’ll definitely be back whenever the old girl needs sorting!

   These guys are legends. Very friendly - 6th time using them and I always end up happy after taking my car there. I don't know much about cars, and they explain things to me really well. Prices are really honest and fair, I know im getting skilled engineers working on my car and they use quality parts which last. (yes im sad, i checked!) always cheaper than 4 dealer garages I've had quotes from. i figured 6 times is good enough to give an experienced review. Will definitely use again :) x
