The works in Birmingham

“Got recommended to use this garage, read the reviews and thought why not. I have owned an Audi tt mk1 for a few years and have had problems from the day I bought it instrument cluster/ chattering non starting, battery draining when I left for a few days standard for the Mk1. Spent hundreds on it various auto electricians sent off the cluster came back no faults spent hours myself trying to resolve to no avail. Booked in with Vagcar Ade said leave it with Steve he knows what he’s doing, he asked for some details had a look at it and said straight away instrument cluster I was a little sceptical has I had it checked and it came back from testing no faults. Anyway Steve started his checks and I left it with him awaiting his findings,, I called in a week later to see how he was getting on he informed me sourced a set of second hand clocks changed. them and had put the battery on test awaiting to see if we had battery draining 4 days later no issues, I was a little concerned about having second hand clocks but Ade reassured me any problems to bring it back and he would sort it, he asked if I had had it remapped saying it would deliver better fuel economy and it would drive a little quicker, boy was he right if it wasn’t quick enough glad I listened Steve. I have left it a couple of weeks before I have wrote my review to see if the battery would hold out and the clocks not to play up what a relief when I turned the key and took it for a spin I have not been able to do that for years. Top marks to Steve and Ade for sorting the car for me I was about to give up and sell it, it drives like a dream and no dodgy clocks and flashing dash pod. Cheers lads”

“I can't thank the team enough, after several failed attempts by other garages they took my discovery in and fixed a serious oil leak I had had for over 12 months, I'm at a complete loss under the bonnet of modern engines like most of the general public I guess. Its great to find someone that is honest , competent and good at their trade. Highly recommended , massive thank you.”

“I can not recommend Ridesharks highly enough. Their service is exceptional & professional. They are always prompt and arrive on time, alerting you when they arrive at your door. The drivers are polite and helpful and drive with great care & professionalism. The cars are immaculate and very comfortable. For me they have been invaluable, as I have been making multiple, long distance hospital trips. A definite ten out of ten. Nicola”

“Really nice food you can tell they have an amazing chef, and the service was amazing the lady was so friendly”

“Best haircut I've had on ages! They spoke me through what was best for the style I wanted. Discussed different options and what was best was he wasn't a clipper happy barber, so didn't feel the need to carry on. Will be recommending to all my mates! To add on top, the location and shop is bright and spacious, which makes a nice change.”

“Tamu Cafe is a small but remarkable eatery that shines through its welcoming vibe, thoughtful staff, and creative, flavour-packed brunch dishes. It’s particularly strong in catering to diverse dietary needs and offering a memorable café experience—just be mindful that seating may get tight and parking can be limited. Overall, it’s a lovely, highly recommended spot for brunch, coffee, or a casual catch-up.”

“Morgan Repairs is an exceptional one-man operation that truly stands out. Despite being a one-man band, the quality of service provided is outstanding. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, making the entire experience stress-free and efficient. The value for money is unmatched, with top-quality repairs delivered at a reasonable price. His attention to detail and commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction are evident in his work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Morgan Repairs to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled repair service. A genuine credit to his trade!"”

“I've been going here for years. Shout outs to the guys at S & N,always honest and fair when it comes to their prices. Excellent customer service.

“We’ve used them for years. Always reliable & honest.”

“Called at 1.30pm about a flat on my car on the drive. Said I wasn't in a hurry (where have we got to go in lockdown?!) but was told they'd be there by 3pm (or even earlier). Was on the drive by 2.30pm and fixed swiftly and for a great price. Receipt delivered via text immediately. Great service. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Brilliant service and super helpful . I can't thank you enough made the whole job a lot easier ,every thing arrived quickly and the over purchase of CVT oil returned without a problem . Big thanks to Nish I'll be back, all the best Rod Donaldson”

“Absolutely fantastic service. My daughter went for her third peircing in her ears. She unfortunately has a condition called syncope. This means she can zone out or faint under stress. The lady was so kind, caring and patient. The piercing went with no issue however my daughter felt light headed in the aftermath. The lady helped me and lightened the mood . I honestly can not sing there praises enough. After care was easier than any other time we had piercings and other establishments. Just Absolutely wonderful”

“I have an outstanding relationship with Clarke and Evans Service Centre! The team are professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I felt confident and well cared for throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Clarke & Evans for anyone looking for trustworthy and top-quality car service!”

“Best garage I’ve ever been to! After a bad experience at a dodgy place that messed up my repairs and cost me double, I’ve learned my lesson — I’m never changing garages again. ADC have been brilliant from start to finish. They even worked overtime just to get my car sorted properly. Top-quality service, honest team, and I honestly can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended!”

“Brilliant Local Garage – Reliable, Honest and Always Go the Extra Mile Burton Motors Ltd have been looking after all of our workplace vans for years now, and we genuinely wouldn’t trust anyone else. They not only keep our fleet running smoothly with regular servicing and MOTs, but they also maintain staff vehicles too — including my own. They’ve done everything for us over the years — from replacing batteries and brakes to full services and MOTs — always with professionalism, great communication and honest advice. It’s clear they take real pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of service we’ve received time and time again. The team are friendly, helpful and never try to upsell or push anything unnecessary — just proper, trustworthy mechanics who know what they’re doing. It’s no wonder they’ve been in business for over 40 years — garages like this are rare these days. If you're looking for a local garage you can count on, I couldn't recommend Burton Motors highly enough.”

“Cliffords Cafe in Polesworth : Where Time is a Suggestion ​Seven out of Five Stars (The Scale Cannot Contain It) ​In an era dominated by artisanal sourdough and oat milk lattes served in reclaimed terracotta, Cliffords Cafe in Pol stands as a magnificent, defiant monument to the way things should be. This isn't just a café; it's a sensory immersion into a highly specific version of coastal Britain, circa 1993, and we are blessed to be its devotees. ​Stepping into Cliffords is like being wrapped in a blanket woven from the aroma of frying bacon, damp dog, and industrial-strength floor polish. The atmosphere is less "curated aesthetic" and more "everything we've owned since 1985, artfully placed." The décor is a stunning collision of plastic tablecloths (wiped clean with the dedication of a professional chef, yet retaining the ghosts of countless jam spills), mismatched mugs, and local notices thumbtacked over other, older local notices. ​The Architectural Marvel of the Toastie ​The menu here is a masterclass in clarity. There are no pretenders, no spiralized vegetables, and definitely no "deconstructed" anything. You are here for the classics, and Cliffords delivers them with the gravity of a papal decree. ​The Toastie, in particular, deserves its own monograph. It is not just toasted bread and cheese; it is a thermal insulation device, a pocket of molten dairy sealed into a crispy, golden rectangle. It demands a four-minute cool-down period before consumption, as the interior temperature is scientifically engineered to cauterize any latent dental issues. The chips are golden, plentiful, and retain a perfectly crisp exterior—a triumph of frying oil technology. ​Service & Philosophy ​The service at Cliffords operates on a beautiful, Zen-like principle: "It’ll be ready when it’s ready, and not a moment before." This is not slow service; this is forced meditation. It encourages mindfulness, prompting you to truly appreciate the simple things, like the sound of the kettle boiling, or the sight of the same local fisherman reading the same local paper he was reading yesterday. When your mug of tea arrives—a brew so robust it could probably strip wallpaper—you feel a profound sense of accomplishment. ​If you require chrome finishes, silent service, or a charging port at every seat, you misunderstand the assignment. Cliffords Cafe is the real deal: a beacon of greasy, cozy, unpretentious perfection. Go, order the largest portion of something fried, and allow yourself to be transported. You'll leave feeling full, warm, and profoundly grateful for the lack of irony.”

“100% satisfied with the prompt service and great job done on my Audi A6 rear suspension repair. They came recommended and on the same day had me booked in for the job. Great guys great service and a warm welcome. Well done Field Fleet Services Regards Mike”

“I used Salam Solicitors to apply for my husband's visa. We were granted the visa. Olly and ikra were very professional and extremely helpful. I always received a prompt reply to my emails. I have recommended them to a few people now. I am very grateful for all their help and support throughout the whole process. I wish them all the very best. Thank you :)”

“I was really nervous about having my hair done as I don’t normally get it cut by others besides my self, but she never pressured me to talk and understood I was nervous. It was a pleasant experience and my hair looks lovely.”

“Top people. Very useful advice despite the fact that they weren't making any money from me. Rachel on reception is very helpful! Since I moved back to Wollaston, they are now my go-to mechanic. Recommended.”

“This is my local garage; I've been using it for years, and I've never had a problem. Great service from great guys.”
