Report
Had a lot of work done our car last week (including suspension and brake discs/pads. Since then, we have had a clanking noise coming from underneath, whenever we go over the slightest bump. On inspection the exhaust is wobbling. We can also now hear a clunk when we press down on the brake. We are on holiday so really hoping it's nothing serious. We will be returning the car, to be checked, when we get home.

Report
After using several other garages to find the fault with my car with no success I arrived at Sheltune hoping for better results. My car was diagnosed quickly and efficiently and is now driving perfectly.
Needless to say I have found a new garage for not only my car but for all of the family. The reception staff were extremely polite, professional and knowledgeable. The young lady on the telephone was excellent! Thank you all again for the first class service.
