Report
Booked in oil change - they couldn't get the oil filter housing off, so apparently they just changed the oil (which I supplied), and also told me I had a major oil leak. They didn't bother to contact me, and just went ahead with changing the oil (waste of oil/cost of oil). I checked the oil when I got back and it didn't look new (either they didn't bother changing it or the old filter has dirtied the oil). They also didn't leave me with the left over oil so if there is a leak have to buy more to top up. In fairness the chap on the front desk had time to chat with me and I was able to get an idea

Amazing garage, it was my first time there servicing my Wife's Corsa. Very helpful lady advised what service I needed (full not Major). Not the cheapest for service or tyres but you get what you pay for. Thank you and I'll be back next year.

It is safe to say I have finally found a local garage I can trust who are honest, fast and have great prices! We recently brought our old Ford Fiesta for a partially dropped exhaust and we explained that we really didn't want to spend a great deal on this car as we plan to scrap it soon. The team at Auto Motive were able to save what was left of the silencer hangars and re-weld them back in place. We will definitely be returning to this garage in the future and recommending to all of our friends.

The service was absolutely excellent. From the moment I rang and spoke to Suzanne the service was polite, efficient, professional and good value. They sorted the car out in less than 24hrs from first contact and got us on the road for our holiday. We will definitely be back for our services and MOT's. Thank you so much to all the team.
