Service and mot, efficient services. No pickup or drop off as just a small garage but they are decent to deal with.

Went in with a technical problem which was corrected very quickly on the spot and no charge. Will continue to use Sleaford Ford for MOTs and servicing.

Took the car in for servicing and was very pleased with the attentive and knowledgeable staff. Used the garage a couple to grab a few bits as I was passing. A little limited but its the only shop in that part of Sleaford.
