Fitted a new battery on my car, car wouldn't start the next day so they came out, turned out to be the clip on terminal. Got to the shop & fitted a new terminal asap. Fast, excellent service, with humour (bonus)! Recommend

These people are fantastic! Been in a few times for various issues and everyone Ive spoke to has been so friendly and helpful. They make sure to provide an understandable explanation of what theyre doing/needs to be done which is appreciated. One of my issues was with my vans battery, and I was lent a battery charger (free of charge - pardon the pun) to use for a couple of days to see if thats all that was required. This just shows the trust and respect they have for their customers, and highlights that theyre in the business for all the right reasons. Would recommend to everyone!
