Great garage, I had a problem with my Seat Alhambra 2012. I had a few jobs done and now the car runs great. I had my turbo reconditioned, EGR valve replaced, ad blue tank replaced and Mick was very helpful in explaining the issues my car had. We got to the bottom of the issues. Will be using them for my cars.

Had timing belt done with water pump and all aux belts in one visit. They booked me in gave me a price and straight up with the price no more no less. Spoke to Mick and John on the phone and assured me about the job. Spot on that booked in for MOT and service and yet again flawless. This is now my new garage in future no messing about!!

I know a few people who use Lodge, and I can see why.
Friendly, professional, punctual service that I definitely recommend. I needed a front number plate at really short notice, I rang the garage, Mick explained what I'd need to bring and why, and the whole thing was made and fitted within an hour. Fantastic service.

Trouble experience
They Promised me 40 minutes but took nearly 3 Hours to get the job done,
They Have changed my hybrid battery and didn't take the old one and gave me a phone number to call and arrange for disposal but was a lie and didn't work.
2 days I have been driving around Manchester to get red of old battery but i can't find any one to take the battery
Scrup yards refused
The house hold waste refused and I still have the battery in my car don't know what to do with it
Every where I go they say the garage should have kept it,
I don't recommend that garage
