Went here for an issue with my DPF. They found the fault and explained what it was and how to avoid it in the future. They weren't pushy with trying to sell me a fix which for me is a HUGE plus. So much so I have my car booked in for its MOT and service soon and will continue to use them going forward.

Fitted us in at short notice despite being booked up and short on staff due to holidays. We we kept constantly updated as to the progress. The problem was investigated, diagnosed and fixed swiftly and at a very reasonable cost considering the quality of the service. Will be recommending to my family and friends who live in Salisbury.

I recently took my car in with a variety of issues including a failed starter motor and a broken rear passenger side suspension coil spring. After the initial diagnostic work, I received a call confirming my suspicion that the coil spring was broken, but also advising me that driver side coil spring was corroded in the same place the passenger side spring had broken and would also need replacing.

This information was alarming to me as I had paid to have a new coil spring fitted on the drivers side at a different garage when it had broken just a few weeks previously; to my mind, either the original

I have been using new garage now for the last 3 years and I instantly warmed to Elaine as came across as really genuine and so nice as a lady to go to a garage that is usually a male dominated industry. I felt they were a transparent business and being a nhs worker I get 10% discount with the option of a curtesy car if available (even better) Steve who I speak to regarding any works is a super chap too, very easy to deal with.

Biggest life savers in the area, for the second time this garage saved me thousands. I first approached them after westover Nissan refused to honor their warranty on my wife's juke, Mark and his team fixed the vehicle at almost half the price of the main dealer rip offs. The second time again I took an astronomical quote from westover nissan to the team, once again they put a smile on my face. speedy professionalism doesn't do the garage and team justice.
