Speedwell is everything you want in a local garage. Nick is a great mechanic, swift to diagnose and quick to a, long lasting, repair and a thoroughly nice guy to work with. Highly recommended by all. Ive had a good few extra years out of my old Volvo because of Nick.

The guys at Speedwell have seen to my car a number of times now for different issues; they are always so friendly, polite, and deal with issues very quickly. Fair prices, good communication and never had any issues. Always happy with their work! Would definitely recommend. :)

Had car MOT'd, 3 problems, charged 15 just to adjust headlights, my usual MOT garage has done that before with no charge. Other 2 problems I thought were sorted overpriced, will not use ever again.

Cannot recommend Nick enough! Had to book an emergency MOT and Service - all other garages weren't interested and showed no urgency whatsoever. Nick not only went out of his way, but he went above and beyond to meet my requests. From having experience with a few Car Garages in Loughborough, this was hands down the best one!
