Previous experience obviously wasn't a one off. Top notch, quick and efficient service to help with a couple of problems I've had over last few weeks. Best car garage I've dealt with. Highly recommended. Thanks.

Can't recommend Darren at Millgate motors enough. Truly excellent service, totally honest and genuine, he works on my pride and joy Mustang as well as my daily driver and I trust him implicitly. Best garage in Paignton in my opinion.
