Nigel and his staff have been carrying out servicing, repairs and MOTs for me and my family for ten years or more. They are professional, friendly and helpful in explaining really technical issues. I have never had reason to question prices charged by Mayswood Garage.

Lovely garage, fitted me in for an mot with no problems. Even when I got the time wrong (my fault) they still squeezed me in. A really friendly honest garage

Excellent service, whether using Mayswood Garage for car repairs, MOTs and servicing, or vehicle hire. Nigel and the team are professional, knowledgable and very reasonable. I would highly recommend.
Having used Mayswood most recently for an MOT and service, I was very pleased with the advice given and the work undertaken, with quality parts used.
Earlier in the year I also used Mayswood to hire a vehicle, of which a number of options were available; all of which were more competitively priced than other hire companies.

Fantastic. Got a quote from a well known car hire company for 73 for the day. Got in contact with Mayswood and they sorted me a nice little Toyota for 24. Would recommend them to everyone
