Very good service, knowledgeable staff, not overpriced. I've been using them for years and keep going back, even though it's a 15 mile journey

I was let down with my MOT and rang Jay Lawley garage. They fitted me in before my MOT was up. It passed but needed a couple of jobs done. They did them for me and was cheaper then I thought. They are really helpful. I will be going back there.
