Found one of our tyres was losing pressure. Just turned up on the off-chance they could help. They were very accommodating and fixed it while we walked into the village and had lunch. All sorted when we got back. Nothing too much trouble. 5*

Brilliant service. A metal piece had fallen off my car whilst on holiday. They fitted me in at short notice, removed the metal and refitted the engine cover for a very reasonable price. Knowledgable and helpful staff. They saved my holiday.

Great service. They were able to solve my electrical problems caused by mice damage and water leakage. The previous garage did not solve it. I can highly recommend them.
