I rang them to say my rear light bulb had failed. Took the car in that afternoon, where it was fixed immediately, and - as an old customer - at no charge. Over the years I have always had excellent service similar to this. Thanks Greg.

The best team! We have an educational business in which we use dinosaurs and dragons. We could not recommend Durely Garage enough. The lads have not only saved us with the incredible service with servicing and… looking after our vans, but they also to the extra mile to support us fixing the dinosaurs.
Honest, reliable and genuinely lovely people. Thank you so much!

My car was towed in on a Sunday night. They rang on Monday morning with prices and updated me later when it needed an additional part. Got it back Monday evening. Great service and nice friendly staff.
