Report
My van broke down and I needed to get it towed to a garage. I spoke to Collin who was very helpful and was happy for my van to be taken there and gave me a very honest assessment of what I should do in my situation and didn't try to squeeze a load of money out of me. In fact in the end I came away with no bill to pay. It's nice to know there's still nice honest people still out there. Next time I need my car servicing I know where I'll be going. Thanks

DSG Gearbox oil & filter change, done quickly and efficiently for the right price at pre-appointed time. So I was able to drive right in to my pit stop. Here you will find Colin, a friendly & knowledgable technician. When you want to escape the clutches of the main dealer you will want an experienced independent. I think Colin is such an independent. Thanks Colin! Nice job.
