I bought a car from the team at Forge Garage, I found a minor issue with the car and this was going to take a while to fix, I was given a courtesy car and throughout the whole process Lee was helpful and very apologetic over the length of time it was taking for the issue to be resolved, overall Im very impressed and would highly recommend Forge Garage

Great friendly service from staff, also felt they were very honest and knew what they were doing, VERY reasonable with prices and seem to go above and beyond to help sort any issues! Would definatly recommend and I think I will always be taking my cars here from now on. I even had a look at the cars for sale on the forcourt and I may even return for when I'm ready for a new one.

Purchased WAV Renault Kangoo via Forge. Great service and fair price. Had issue with petrol gauge after purchase (wouldn't have expected them to pick up on this), due to distance we would have to travel for them to sort it for us, they kindly agreed to pay for a local garage to do it for us. Would definitely purchase from them again in the future

Great garage cars are well looked after and the who team are friendly and easy to talk to. Picked up my first car after passing on Tuesday. They helped me out with the finance company I used and were very very helpful. Thanks for all your support
