Happy with the service, however only given 4 stars as I feel 60 for wheel alignment is a bit expensive compared with other companies in the area. Staff were friendly, service was quick and problems were solved. Overall a good experience.

Good garage. Do their best if you need something done urgently. We go here for all servicing and mot. We have a Octavia and I much prefer them to the Skoda garage - very straightforward and honest.

Brilliant service! Brought my car in to have the central locking fixed and it was done within a few hours and for a very reasonable price. Plus, when I picked up my car it had been cleaned (which, let me tell you, was sorely needed and really the cleaning must have been a feat of its own...). Would definitely recommend.
