I have been going to this garage for over 6 years now and Nick is the only person I now trust with my car. Always honest and explains all your options so you can make informed decisions with repair you may need.
Bought tyres from blackcircles to be fitted here. Very hard to find the garage itself (it's around the back of units 151-155 for anyone interested) and to replace two front tyres took nearly 1.5 hours - very frustrating when you expect this to be 30 mins tops based on other garages. My order included a free brake check upon which the head mechanic informed me that my front pads were dangerously low and that the discs were pitted and probably needed replacing. I had the fronts pads as a minor in my MOT earlier this year and replaced not 5 months ago so found this news very suspect. As verified just now in person by my local and trustworthy garage: they were replaced earlier this year, there's nothing wrong with them, both sets of pads have at least 10k on them, more like 20. I wonder how these guys came to such a different opinion? I'll let you decide.

Not fair to give them a lower review as they seem to be rebuilding the business but the high tech name does not reflect their appearance. Only used them to fit tyres via Black Circles which was done outside with one jack so took ages.
Misled by the previous commnets, I went there for a car diagnostic service. The boss was very warm. But I got nothing in writing except invoice after the service. And he gave a stunning quotation for just replacing a sensor.
Took my Renault in unannounced with a battery draining electrical fault. The chaps there were very accommodating and sorted the problem same day. Friendly no-nonsense advise, highly recommended.
