Bought a van from this garage. Took it for a test drive and found faults, said they would fix them so I put a deposit down. Came back for van on the understanding things had changed. Took the van away and found more things wrong with it. Contacted the garage to be sent numerous cheeky messages and being told "sold as seen" over and over again. Would never ever use again. Seem like nice guys face to face. Lesson learned

Took my car out for joy ride when I put it in to be fixed damaged car took 3 weeks to fix then still charged full price and refused to fix alloy that they took a chunk out of. They way they spoke to me was a disgrace. I would seriously consider never taking your car here. It's a absolute shambles of a company!!!

Mot failed. They Wrote the same thing twice on the mot sheet. Never gave me a quote on how much it would be to fix (even after asking). Wont be going again. No help at all and over priced for an mot after researching other companies.
