   Always first class, Services and MOT for our cars and campervan. There is a high lift ramp which accommodates our 2 70m high top campervan. Chris can fix almost anything, he is top rate and a Saab specialist technician. Highly recommended

   Awful service with 0 communication or customer service, had my car for nearly 3 months. Lots of new parts not fitted and left in the boot. Avoid this place like the plague absolutely disgusting service.

   When you find a good mechanic, you stick with your mechanic. I have been using Chris' skills and knowledge around the various vehicles I've had for more years than I care to remember. The news hasn't always been good, but Chris has always been honest, forthright and fair with his pricing. I would highly recommend Chris for all your mechanical needs with the added bonus of servicing and MOT reminders for ease! Chris is easy to talk to and if he can, will go out of his way to help.

   Generally disappointed. Left my car here for an electrical fault and when I picked it up after he'd had it all day, then spent half an hour on it, I drove it out and it was exactly the same as when I drove it in, but my bank balance was £250 less than before. Not a good experience. I needed my car to be fixed, not messed about.

   Excellent service! I've used multiple garages over the last few years, and been dissatisfied with most of them. Chris is a refreshing exception! I have now had multiple jobs done by Chris, all to an excellent standard. He has replaced timing gear, fixed rear suspension and diagnosed and fixed a bug in the alarm system, all in good time and with excellent communication. Although I live in Worcestershire, (130mile+ round trip from Caerphilly) I will happily travel back to Chris for all significant work on my Saab in future.

   Drove all the way down to this place from Tredegar and arrangements were made for the owner to contact me when he got hold of a replacement bumper for my car. This was about a month ago and not herd nothing. Could of gone elsewhere to get this fixed by now. Nothing worse than being held on a string with no reply. So not exactly impressed. Will up date my review as and when I finally get the call he's got the bumper and ready to do the job. Until then this review stands.

   Chris has been servicing our cars for over 10 years. He always reminds us when service and MOT is due would recommend him to anyone very friendly professional service.

   Edit: it only took Chris 7 months to respond to my review here... Clearly customer service is not a priority. Avoid this garage! Dropped my car off Thursday 20/08/20 for an MOT, the car failed on its rear brakes, Chris told me the replacement cylinders would be vastly cheaper than it turned out to be. Though at the end of the day I was prepared to pay for the work no problem. These things happen. Chris contacted me the next day to say the car had passed its second MOT. Then when my Father-in-law (a mechanic by trade) paid for the work and picked the car up on the Friday 21/08/20 he noticed that the brake pedal still had a large amount of travel on it. This was one of the things the MOT specifically failed on. So, he took the car back to Chris who said it should be fine because it passed the MOT. When questioned on it his answer was that it came in like that and it was not his fault. Fast forward to Monday 24/08/20 when we turned up to collect the car after Chris quoted another £200 to fix the already 'fixed' brakes. After telling him I'd be dropping in to pick the car up, Chris had hurriedly handwritten a waiver for me to sign saying that by picking up the vehicle I was acknowledging the problems with the car. When my father-in-law advised against signing it Chris told me I couldn't take the car as it was in no fit state to be driven. He'd blocked my car in with his 4x4 until we threatened to involve the police. An independent MOT garage confirmed my fears that the car was in no state to pass it's MOT, the brake was described as 'dangerous' by them. I will not be taking my car back to Chris again, and I am appalled at his blasé attitude towards the safety of my car (and so too my own personal safety). I don't know if he took one look at me and thought he could pull the wool over my eyes because it's evident I don't know much about motoring myself; or if it was a genuine mistake; but after seeing the way he acted Monday morning by telling me the car was in no state to be driven after PASSING my MOT at the end of the week prior, and not allowing me to leave without signing a shoddily prepared waiver frantically covering his bottom at the last moment; I advise anyone reading this to consider alternatives before taking your car to Chris.

   Been going to Chris for over 2 years and had fantastic service . Always let's me know what the car needs before completing the work. Would definitely recommend.
