Found this garage through who can fix my car, they sent a quote for part and fitting of a Heater matrix on my peugeot 307sw. As I already had the part which was purchased from peugeot, I phoned up and asked if they could fit it. Got it booked in for the next day and took just a few hours to complete where other garages said wouldn't do it or they would need the car all day. Will use these again.

My '18' plate Mercedes kept stalling and Mercedes had it for 4 days and couldn't work out what was going on, so by chance I was directed to these guys and they diagnosed the issue within a day and I was able to take it back to Mercedes and claim under my warranty. Result!

Went in here with a leaking A/C system and a knocking noise from the suspension. Both irritating. 2 hours after dropping off, I got a call saying the condenser was leaking and a top mount was causing the noise. Price was good and car was ready by 6pm. Would recommend.

After having purchased a car from this garage in mid October last year (less than 3 months) the car developed a fault and list all power. After taking it to a local garage the bill is 500 which this garage is not prepared to honour even though it breaches consumer rights. Appalling service.

My Vauxhall Meriva started stuttering & failed by the roadside in late November 2021. The RAC said it was an Exhaust Gas Regulator Valve / Sensor fault. After taking the car to Piston & Rotor one afternoon, it was repaired at a VERY quick speed, & with an Interim Service thrown in, the service was surpisingly kind to the pocket as well ! The Service is definitely cheaper than the equivalent at Halfords, & I would recommend this garage for your Auto Electrical needs (as well as standard garage jobs) ! Friendly service staff also contribute to my 5 star rating !
