“Cannot recommend this garage enough! We've taken both our cars there multiple times and been really impressed with the service and honest approach of the staff. Some work I thought needed doing they've advised is not a concern and to save some money, other work they've completed quickly, effectively and for decent prices. I popped my car in today for a quick diagnosis but ended up needing to collect it sooner than expected for an appointment so said not to worry. Instead, they looked at the car straight away, diagnosed and fixed the problem and gave me the car back in 20mins. This level of service obviously isn't always possible or necessary but was hugely appreciated today! We'll definitely be taking our cars back again for advice, services and repairs!”
