They found a fault that other garages couldn't find and fixed it. The staff were friendly, helpful and reasonable on price.

I have used the garage 3 times 1 job done great other 2 occasions I have paid for jobs to be looked at and they couldn't do costing me over 100 then still needing to take to a garage to complete the work. Jak is very nice but I will not return as too costly both of time and money and still leaving with the repairs to be done. Very disappointing.

I had a flat tyre on Saturday morning and the sole worker managed to fit me in while I waited. He did a great job and was a life saver. The replacement tyre was also reasonably priced. Excellent customer service!

Great garage and staff that you can trust!
Had my car on a service with 1 of the main big dealerships for the last 3 years, and in 1 visit they had picked up on interim service failures and blatant no work done. I always find them professional, well priced, quality workmanship and honest
Highly recommended
