I've not been here before, so was a bit apprehensive. My car was booked in for an oil change. I haven't used one of the well known companies before, and heard some dreadful stories about ' unexpected problems' which always put up the original price.
Anyway, left my car there this morning, a really nice man called Alan phoned to say it was ready to be picked up and.....see you when you come in. I was surprised and just so pleased that my fears were unfounded. Wouldn't go past them now and would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.
