Routine maintenance in Edinburgh

“Imagine getting your mane done by professionals who also personify kindness. People should consider going here for either or both. I went here to get my hair braided as we’re now nearing the winter days. They opened right on time (I was early), and immediately sorted the space up to make it convenient for their customers. Amiable owner and staff who seem open-minded to listen to your needs or any concerns about your hair. I was offered a drink (tea/coffee), and even though I wasn't eating on that day, I thought that was pretty kind. I hadn't been to a salon for over two years, so I was genuinely happy with the services offered. And I love my braids. Bonus: I was running late for pick-up, and needed to use the Bolt app but was disappointed after several tries and Floxzee helped me get an Uber. Very sweet lady. Highly recommend! Xx”

“Friendly, efficient and honest service. After having been quoted £500-£700 from Arnold Clark for MOT advisories, Alan and the team not only told me they'd be considerably cheaper but in fact told me they weren't even required! Independent garages could easily provide a cheaper quote and just book the work but these guys were open, honest and kind. 10/10”

“I popped in after getting a flat tyre and the gentleman was able to squeeze me in within the hour and I had my new tyre fitted that day. Was served very quickly and grateful that my issue was able to be sorted so quickly.”

“My tyre pressure light came on last Saturday as I had a faulty tyre sensor in one of the tyres. I have rang several garages within the area with an average wait of 2 weeks! I was really impressed when I spoke to Luke last Saturday morning. He gave me the price it costs to replace the tyre sensor over the phone and he was able to fit me in the same day for an appointment to get my tyres looked at. Him and his team were amazing. They are professional and worked well as a team to answer customers enquiries in person and over the phone. He managed expectations really well, keeping me informed throughout the process with progress while I wait in the garage and time it takes to fit the new tyre pressure sensor (30 minutes), showing me which one was faulty. His team was great with the checks and went above and beyond by checking all the tyres, ensure they all fully inflated and documented the tyre depth in the completion report along with photos. I would highly recommend this garage. It really is Kwik Fit!”
