“shame I could only give 5 stars as I would of given more, great job on the repair and respray on my bonnet, came in cheaper than quoted too, can not fault at all.. would definitely use again and definitely recommend.. 5*+ thanks again”

“Absolutely brilliant service highly recommended,thankyou very much”

“I've used this service for well over a decade, and they have always been honest, trustworthy, very reasonably priced and quick. I always sit and wait whilst they carry out the MOT, and it's usually done within 30 mins or so. I've only ever had to go back for a re-test once or twice when I'd failed to check my tires beforehand etc. I don't think you could ask for much more from an MOT service, so it's long overdue me leaving this review.”

“This garage is a breath of fresh air! Called regarding an issue with my car and spoke to Amy who was super helpful and asked me to pop in later that day, problem diagnosed in minutes by herself and Adam who was also friendly, helpful and informative. Will definitely use this garage in future for MOT and servicing and recommend to friends too.”

“So this is what the potholes can do for you, broken spring, and of course to make an effective repair you need to replace both springs on the front. John and his staff soon got to work and had the car running perfectly again. I am now very pleased to say that he has passed his latest MOT with flying colours Thanks John.”

“Great staff, great service. MOT and repairs done quickly and all sorted with no hassle. I’ll be back for sure!”

“This garage is amazing! They are honest reliable and by far the most trustworthy garage I have come across! I trust them totally and what they say needs repairing is what DOES need repairing! They are friendly and will keep you well updated, not to mention very quick regarding repairs! It's not often you can find a garage who you can trust and happily recommend. I've been using them for 3 years now... Keep up the great work boys!!!!”

“HEADLINE: Thank you Megan and the Team for going out of your way to help me at a very stressful time. (This review is long overdue!) Weds morning 16 Aug 23 my car began "screaming" on the M61. I stayed in the slow lane and came off at the next junction and rang Parkills straight away. "Could I bring my car in?" Lovely Megan initially said at least a week. When I explained I am self-employed working across the NW and need my car, (don't work: don't earn) compounded by currently driving back and forth to a specialist vets 30+ miles away (my dog had cancer and days earlier had had a huge operation). Megan said she'd speak to the manager at 9. She called me back at 9 and said "bring the car in, though they may not get to it that day". A slow drive to Parkhills and I left it with them. Megan rang me that afternoon, they did in fact find out what was wrong with the car same day, then it was a case of waiting for parts, I added a full service to the work, and had a niggly tiny issue (I couldn't remove a plastic cap on one tyre valve to inflate it). Megan kept me informed throughout those 3 days (4 calls in 3 days) and I had my car back by Friday! So what could have been 2 weeks no income AND worry how I'd get my dog back to the vets in an emergency. I was only off the road for 2.5 days. This is the 2nd time Parkhills have provided excellent service and resolved an issue for me. I really appreciate Parkhills excellent customer service, going out of their way to look after me as a customer and the transparency of great videos illustrating what works needs to be done gives that added peace of mind. For me choosing a garage boils down to trust and good service, who will keep you safe on the roads. I'm confident when I take my car to Parkhills they'll do a good job and are always friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again Megan, and sorry this review wasn't posted sooner!”

“XXXXxxxx____I loved The Service From This Garage____xxxxXXXX I took my car to this Vehicle Body Repair Shop, I met Ozzy he welcomed me and I explained my demise, we went out of the shop as he wanted to see the vehicle to assess the damage. He gave me professional guidance and advice which stood out for me:- 1) He raised a quotation and contacted the insurer directly (which took a lot of hustle of me). 2) He contacted me to give me updates from the agreement with the insurer to when I was supposed to bring the vehicle. 3) The day I was given to collect the vehicle was the agreed day and the vehicle was cleaned, polished and ready to be driven off. 4) After a week I received a communication just checking if everything is okay and I was happy with the service. (This was them going above and beyond).”

“Another great job from Apex. Efficient , friendly garage, plus A* customer service and communication from Alex. Thank you!”

“I had my MOT done with this garage and they were quick efficient and didn't over price like some do. My son also MOTs his car here also he recommended them to me.”

“Had my car MOT done here & the service was absolutely impeccable. All the staff I spoke to or met were so kind, especially Diane in the office who was an excellent communicator & all round lovely human! When I told her I wasn’t sure what time I could collect my car (because I have a young baby) she offered to drop it to me at home! So helpful. Highly recommend this garage.”

“It was very easy to make the appointment, had a choice to wait or leave the car while MOT/service was being performed; availability of hot drink and biscuit while waiting, friendly personnel, clear knowledge and understanding of services offering; opportunity to have any required work done immediately avoiding the need to comeback for the job to be done; video o service done provided before payment; reasonable waiting time. Over all it was a very good experience. Thank you.”

“A great family run business with superb service levels, honest pricing and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended”

“Great garage & professional team. Recently booked car in MOT from start to finish all stress free. Highly recommended”

“Would highly recommend had service done Friday morning feels like a new car! Nice and genuine people do the job properly take there time thanks again!!”

“My tutor at uni put me onto these guys some 10+ years ago. Great blokes. Very honest. Wouldn’t go anywhere else in Manchester.”

“From start to finish J Barlows have been wonderful. Our very ancient Kirby has a new lease of life,performed in less than a day and restored to her former self. Very reasonably priced and courteous company to do business with, which is very much valued this day and age. She had to travel from Bristol to Manchester and back again all in less than a week ,including weekend in between, from start to finish. Thank you J.Barlow’s. We would certainly recommend you.”

“These guys were great. They point out all the faults in your vehicle even the smallest ones even a bolt or a missing screw. You go away knowing everything. No doubt in the back of your mind. I wish I could use them more often. They are a relief from all those corner '5 star' mechanics who miss out very very basic information. They don't mess about and are wonderful people. Professionals to the T and want people to keep driving German cars.”

“I recently had my car serviced at this garage, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff were welcoming, communicated clearly about what needed to be done, and provided a fair and transparent quote before doing any work. The repairs were completed quickly, and my car has been running perfectly ever since. Highly recommend them for honest and reliable service!”
