Absolutely impressed by the reception, work and outstanding professionalism which I received today from this GarageIts always a bit daunting when your car/vehicle requires maintenance and your dubious about rip off merchants, particularly when your car etc is in their hands.I am extremely pleased that this Business was recommended to me and Dan has certainly gone over and above what youd receive from most Garages.Would give 6 stars if possible

Turned up a day early for my MOT and Dan managed to fit me in that day, repair at a much lower price than I expected, and re-test my car so it passed all in the same day. Incredible service and advice given on advisories. Would highly recommend.

We were on holiday when our cars injector failed. My wife phoned the garage in the morning and by the next afternoon the repairs had been completed. Really friendly, fast and efficient service. Thank you so much for taking the stress out of the situation.

Most reliable mechanic I've ever used. I've been using Fulham moor for around 7 years, won't go anywhere else unless I have a specialist diagnostic fault. All round professional and friendly service. All jobs are very well priced.
